How to Build an Igloo


Easy to build once you know how. Two Eskimos admire the wooden buildings of the white man. Like all good architects they use the materials found around them. A row of heel marks.. the Eskimo knows his snow. His need is for a temporary home, familiar, rounded beehive shape. No covers. Perspire freely. Ticklish jaw. Chinking. Caribou sleeping robes. Extra skin. Like the man who paints himself into a corner. A chosen spot on the snow. Igloomaslo says Akioutok. It is warm, this is my home.
