Shelter
The Inuit had shelters that were called igloos, tupiqs and the Alaskan sod house.The igloo was a very good shelter in the winter, but would meltoff in the summer; so they had summer homes they were called the tupiq and the Alaskan sod house.Igloos were made out of ice and snow.Even though they were made of snow and ice they were very warm. Theyhad fur raped inside the walls of the igloos. They also had a fire inside to keep them warm. They also had smoke holes in the roof of the igloo.
The Alaskan sod house was a all year home.They were built along rivers, seas and a small forest there was a chance there would be an Alaskan sod house.Half of it was built underground so there was pit and a ladder to get in. It had a fire pit also to keep it warm.The tupiq was built in the summer when the igloos would melt. A tupiq was like a tent. It would last all summer but the summers were not long. It was built out of wood poles and animal fur, and seal skin.
