A fragmentary account describes grass houses of the Wichita Indians, a rare architectural art facing decay. It notes the tribe’s dwindling elders, efforts to revive the design, and the use of grass thatch with willow reed anchors. The structures are warm, weather resistant, and built with local labor on the prairie of the Winhiin reservation, per a State Journal clipping.
