1865 engraving of inuit igloo community
Inuit people live in the far northern areas of Alaska, Canada, Siberia, and Greenland. Non-Inuit people sometimes refer to Inuit as Eskimos, but Inuit is what they prefer to be called. Because traditional home building materials such as wood and mud were not easy to come by in the tundra areas where they lived, in the past traditional Inuit summer homes were made of animal skins stretched over whale bones or driftwood. In winter they built igloos from blocks of hard packed snow. (the Inuit word igloo means home). Today Inuit people live in regular homes, but they still build igloos for winter hunting trips. Students at Blue Church Art built their own community of igloos, backlit by the northern lights. Instead of snow blocks, they used crayons, markers and watercolor!
