Listen to a lecture in an anthopology class .

Okay class we’ve been talking about to traditional type of shelter about the style so houses
used by traditional people and today. Today I’d like to talk a bit about home thirty inuit to
people, the eskimos. The people who live in the far north and the arctic region of north
America. Now, all in the world use to have two types of houses, summer houses and winter
houses. There is summer houses we’re called to pick and they were originally made of animal
skin and leather canvas. There were various types of winter houses, the inuit who lived in
northen alaska, where there was ploty of driftwood, build their winter houses from wood they
found on the shore. There inuit who lived in labradore, that’s in northeastern Canada now
they build their winter houses from stone and earth, and supported them with quale bones. It
was only in the north center part of Canada and then one place in Greenland but inuit winter
houses from snow. Oh , and by the way they inuit who lived the up in Greenland in the place
called tulay. There was some of the most by isolate people in the world untill sometimes in
the early 90th century in fact they tought they were the only people in the world. Imagine
how surprisely they were, the first time they meet outsiders. Anyway when the first canadian
in so pure in decend to arrived in northen canada and they saw this houses made of snow,
may ask what they were called. The inuit replied igloos, and so that what we called them
now. In english the word igloo means a dome shape tales made of snow. However it turns out
the word igloo in any word just means house, any short of house, a house of wood, a house of
snow, whatever. How did the inuit make this snow houses, they used knifes made of bone or
ivory to cut windpack snow into blocks. They arrange this in a circle and then cut again
smaller and smaller blocks in a rising spiral until the dome was formed. Then they pack the
cracks between the blocks with loose snow. A skilled igloo builder could put up a simple
igloo in a couple of hours. And you know what? He could do it in a blizzard. The igloo was
the only dome shaped traditional housing that was build without internal support. We didn’t
need any interior support because, well because it was so strong. The bitter arctic winds
caused the outside of the igloo to freeze sawed, then the interior was set with the seal loyal
lap, what i mean is the use these laps to melt a little bit of the snow blocks, and then the water
refrozen twice, so you had a layer of ice on the outside the dome and one on the inside, and
like i say it was strong in fact it would support the way of the man standing on top of it.
Igloos were remarkably warm inside, i mean given that they were made up of snow, they
were surprisingly cozy snow is actually a good isolator, believe it or not. And it keeps the
intense cold out. Igloos were usually small enough, so that body heat warm them up pretty
quickly. The inward slept on platform of pack snow covered with first. Oh, and the entrance
tunnel to the igloo was dark out. So, that it was lower than the igloo floor, and cold air got
trapped in the tunnel. Seal oil laps were usually used to heat igloos, so there had to be a hole
on the top of the dome to let out stale air and smoke. If igloos were to be used for a fairly
long time, they naturally tended to be more laborate, sometimes circular walls of snow will
build around igloos to shield them from the wind, sometimes this wall were even build into a
second dome around the first one, and the layer of air between the two domes provided even
more isolation. The semi prominent igloos had window and sky light by the fresh water ice so
translution seal got. And sometimes you’d have clusters of igloos they were connected
tunnel. Sometimes five or more inuit families with them this cluster. And sometines the inuit
build larger snow dome that could be use more or less as community centers. You know the
night are long up there on the arctic so they needed some entertainment. They held dance and
wrestling mathches and their famous singing competition in this large igloos. In the early
1950 the inuit begin living in permanent year round housing. They only used igloos when
they went out over night haunting trips . Today they don’t use these wonderful snow domes
for shelter at all, not even as temporarely housing. But, sometimes they’re build igloos for
special exicted, and sometimes you’ll see little igloos in their yards that they built as a play
houses for their children.
