We know what they eat, and how they get it. But where do they sleep?

​

After much examination, we have found that during the summer, the Inuit usually sleep and cook in teepees. This was extremely surprising, after all, when you think "Inuit" you usually think of igloos. But, in the summer, there is little snow or ice, and most of it is slush. Because there is so much snowmelt, teepees must be made of almost waterproof materials. The answer: Seal Skin. But, how do you retrieve it? You can't walk on the sea during the summer. You must get it in the winter, or build a Kayak for the summer.​
