The Yakima Indians inhabited villages with unique underground winter homes called "pit houses." These structures featured dome-shaped frames and were designed to provide warmth during cold winters. Their diet consisted of nuts, roots, berries, and various meats, reflecting their hunting and gathering lifestyle. Men and women had distinct roles; men hunted and taught boys, while women cooked, crafted, and taught girls. The Yakima used various tools and transportation methods, including birch-bark canoes and horses. Their clothing varied by occasion and was often adorned with beads and patterns.
