Today in socials we had a test on the native indians of canada, greenland and alaska. Our test we had today was open book and we had partners. The thing that made this test hard was that we had to explain our answers in great detail. Today I learned a few things about the natives and how they lived. I learned about why the inuits used caribou skin as clothing. The clothing used to two layers of caribou skin to make their clothes. They used caribou skin as clothing material because the caribou's hair is hollow and if it has one layer of fur facing in then the other layers fur facing out then the hot air in the fur would build up and make good insulation. I also how learned how the plateau natives built pit houses by digging circular holes in the ground then putting rafters in the ground and draping animal skin over top of the rafters for a roof. Usually the pit houses were built by water sources such as streams. Well thats just a sample of what I learned in socials today. hope you enjoyed my blog today. :)
