While at the zoo, Xander and his classmates were able to explore what is sometimes called a male hogan. This type of dwelling was typically used in ceremonies verses the female hogan which is where families would live. Traditional female hogans are only made nine logs high for nine months of pregnancy, today hogans are made of many different modern materials. Even in more modern hogans with TV and electricity the floor is always dirt, this reminds them of their connection to Mother Earth.
