In what ways did the Eskimos used the resources that are available in their
surroundings for making houses?
Answers
Answer:
The Inuit were nomadic people, so they rarely stayed in one place for very long. Therefore, their houses had to be quick and easy to build.
During the summer, the Inuit built tents out of driftwood or poles covered with animal skins, mostly caribou or sealskin. These tents were not unlike the Plains tipis.
A ring of boulders around the base held down the tent skin covering.
Since wood was so hard to come by, the wooden poles used to make the tents were jealously guarded.
People from different areas would form large villages during the summer. In the winter everyone scatted across the land into small bands again.
During the winter, Inuit families would follow the hunt. They needed a shelter that would keep them warm, and protect them from the harsh winter weather. The most common winter shelter was a snowhouse, more commonly known as an 'igloo'.
