The most impressive of all the villages at Indian City is that of the Wichita, principally because of the 40 foot high Council house. This is the equivalent of four stories. The women did all of the building in the Wichita tribe, which makes their structures all the more impressive. Pine poles, split in half, were set in the ground in a circle and joined together at the top. This framework is covered with willow branches and then finally swamp grass to provide a completely weatherproof dwelling or Council house. The villiage also includes a community shelter where the women gathered to do their work and various racks used for drying meats, vegetables and buffalo skins.
