It was in the Council House that the people of the village met to decide important issues. Women had a very important say in the affairs of the village. | |
| In this picture you can see that in the center of the house was a fire. This fire was to be kept burning at all hazards during the discussions. The people of the seven tribes would be seated by tribe in sections around the fire. |  |

In this picture, the council house is on the left, and the path leads from it to the stomp grounds where the ceremonial religious dances of invocation were held. Even though it is a picture, can't you just feel the peacefullnes of this village? | |
