Excerpt from Igloo Life: A Brief Account of a Primitive Arctic Tribe Living Near One of the Most Northern Trading Posts of Revillon Frères
Every Eskimo family has a summer home and a winter home. Neither of these can be permanent as the scarcity of food in the North means constant and laborious migrations. In summer a tent of skins, which can be carried from place to place, affords shelter enough but when the freezing weather comes - and it comes early in the North - the Eskimo must have a dwelling which can not be blown over or penetrated by searching wind. It must be built quickly in some place where there is a likelihood of obtaining food, so the Eskimo father takes his snow knife and starts an igloo.
