Hogan is a house of the Navajo people of the American Southwest. Hogans may be round, six-sided, or eight-sided, and they may be constructed in many different ways. Most hogans are built of logs and earth, but some have stone walls. The most common hogan is probably a rounded or eight-sided structure about 20 feet (6 meters) in diameter, with stacked log walls and a roof made of logs and dirt piled in a mound. Hogans have a single door, which always faces east.
