Head House

A "Head House" was a traditional part of every longhouse. It used to be a "Men Only" place where weapons and trophy skulls were kept and tales of headunting were shared. It was raised above the other houses, so perhaps it was used as a "watchtower" too. Today it seems anachronistic, but this Head House still had two old skulls on display.
