- In the southwest United States, Native Americans had been living in adobe
structures/houses for centuries by layering piles of a mud mixture on top
of one another. Adobe material was mostly created in areas with little
water. It is said that in cooler temperatures, the walls of an adobe
structure absorb the heat when the sun goes down and in the summer
when it is really hot, the temperature in the structure/house remain
comfortable.
