A Day in the Life of the Inuit
Introduction
My name is Akycha
Which Means Sun God
I am part of the Inuit tribe
My family and I live in the Canadian region of
North America
This is my story …
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.

My name is Kitchi it means brave
I am a part of the Comanche tribe
I live in the region called the southern
plains
It is the year 1500
This is my story……..
Housing
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!
