I'd never thought of turf-walled houses in prairie locations - I just had visions of the Laura Ingalls style cosy log cabins.

In such conditions, I suppose you'd have to import logs or planks for the roof framework - so do you get stone post pads with turf footings which rot down into mounds? If so, that's not so far removed from some of the early post-medieval structures you get over here...
