Cooking was a community project where everyone contributed to the meal, but each family had its own home. In Timucuan villages, there were usually two kinds of houses. One type of home was referred to as the long house. It was built using poles for the frame, and branches from palmetto trees for the sides and roof. The other, a round house, was round and covered with palmetto leaves. The Timucua wore clothing made from Spanish Moss, animal skins and, later, woven cloth. The men wore their hair long and tied up. It was a place to hide their weapons during battle. Both men and women had tattoos, and children could start getting tattoos as they grew up and showed they were brave and responsible.
