Journal Entry #1: Housing, Winter Brrrrrr… It was cold working out in the harshest of winter to build a house. My family and I were working to build a temporary shelter which would take about an hour or two. This temporary shelter is called a igloo. We are building it out of blocks of ice. Our regular shelters are tents, they have fur on the outside. The reason our family needs temporary shelter is because we have to follow our food source. It is hard to find a place that has a lot of food around so our family and others are nomadic. 1x /inuit_building_an_igloo groups/fp_inuit2.html

Aaahhhhhhhhh. Sorry. I’m really tired this morning. Why are you looking at my home like that? Ohhh yeaahhh, you’re from a different nation. Well, this is my bed, as you probably know already. It’s built into the side of the wall here and raised up so it’s above the sometimes damp ground. That dome frame above our head is made of bent sticks of strong wood. It’s covered with a layer of woven mats on the outside, and also has another layer of mats on the inside to keep us extra warm. It’s called a wetu, or wigwam, in case I didn’t say that already.

Food Today’s the harvest! We’re going to have a feast to celebrate. We’ll be having mainly maize (corn), beans, and squash because those are the Three Sisters. You don’t know why? They are planted together, so as the beans bring nitrogen to the soil, which nourishes the plants. The squash’s low, broad leaves help keep the ground moist because it shades it from the heat of the sun. Also, the Three Sisters are very healthy to eat together, if you know what I mean. The corn is a good source of carbohydrates, while the beans supply lots of protein. The squash provides lots of vitamin A. So, get moving! If you don’t help harvest you don’t get to eat at the feast!
