Igloos and traditional winter homes
In the cold expanse of the Arctic, igloos, those dome-shaped structures made of blocks of snow, offer a cozy shelter in the wintertime.
It’s one of many types of traditional winter homes tribes from the north down to the Southwest rely on. Join Native America Calling to talk with traditional builders who carry on igloo and winter house building.
