What did the Inuit really livein, specifically theBaffinland Inuit?
I think they live in tents made of caribou hide in the summer, but I'm not sure. And in the winter, do they really live in igloos? Unfortunetly there isn't much on Baffinland Inuit on google, so any help woul be appreciated! Thanks!
In the summer, Baffin Island Inuit lived in shelters made of caribou hide, whale bones, and drift wood. In the winter some Inuit lived in igloos, as igloos provide excellent insulation against wind and cold (especially when using a whale oil lamp inside). However, not all Inuit used the igloo in winter -- would also insulate their caribou hide shelters with snow built up around the exterior walls. Hunters often used igloos when out on the land because it's a great temporary shelter.
