Summer Cabin
The use of small cabins shared by extended family members during the summer months is common in Inuit communities where being on the land is central to numerous cultural traditions, food practices, and spiritual well-being.
Summer cabins are constructed through an informal process of self-building and a repurposing of found materials in areas where coastal summer hunting grounds and seasonal resources are available. Summer Cabin

Whale Hunting Camp
Between July and September, hunters and their families gather at a staging camp to prepare boats and equipment, including
modern and traditional hunting tools, for the four crews that will go on the whale hunt: the captain’s crew, co-captain’s crew, rope crew, and assistance crew.
Following the hunt, the hunters’ families spend days preparing the whale to be brought back to the community for a feast where the meat and muktuk (skin or blubber) is shared amongst everyone. Whale Hunting Camp

The immediate surroundings of the house serve several uses, including the storage of materials and fuel, skin stretching, drying of country food, and work areas.
In Arctic communities, the house has been adapted by residents to meet several needs of northern living including the use of a cold porch, bulk storage, a kitchen for cooking traditional foods, and open floor space for gatherings and group activities. Single-Family House

Food sharing is a central practice in Inuit communities that ensures that all families, children, and elders share in traditional country foods from the land.
Large game is butchered on the sea ice and enjoyed by hunters and their families at camp and later brought back to the community to provide for others. Country Food Sharing

Multi-Unit Housing
In Arctic communities, the development of multi-unit housing has increased over the years as a strategy to provide more cost-effective public housing designed for northern climates.
Multi-unit co-operative housing has the potential to align with patterns of living common to Inuit communities in which the connection between extended family and the larger community are reflected in the use of shared living spaces. Multi-Unit Housing

Informal beach shacks are a commonly found along shorelines where they are used for the storage of supplies, equipment, and other necessities for hunting marine animals.
Shacks are self-built structures shared by owners, their families, and friends and are the result of a common informal practice of materials reuse and builders working with what is available. Beach Shacks

In the fall, many families, including children and elders, look for berries in known harvesting spots where they can find kigutangirnaq (blueberries), kimminnaq (cranberries), and aqpik (cloudberries). Cabins are sometimes built specifically for this activity.
Berries are eaten on their own or prepared according to a number of traditional Inuit recipes in which they can be brewed in teas, mixed with caribou fat to make akutaq, or fried in bannock. Tundra Berry Harvest

The bowhead whale hunt is a centuries-old Inuit tradition, which, despite being heavily restricted since the 1900s, is still to this day a celebrated event involving entire communities in the north.
During the hunt, crews set out on boats equipped with harpoons, floats, darting guns, and lances to make a catch, which will then be floated to shore with the help of the hunters and their families. Bowhead Whale Hunt

Deep-Sea Port
Deep-sea ports are a key component of northern infrastructure during the summer sealift season connecting southern ports to coastal communities in the north.
Many Arctic communities lack sufficient marine infrastructure such as deep-sea ports and as a result small barges are used to transfer goods from cargo ships to the mainland. Deep-Sea Port

Community Feast
Community feasts take place after the catch of large game and are a means of sharing food with the local community and to other communities in the region.Seal Hunt
Seal hunting is a centuries-old practice and important food source for Inuit as it takes place year-round either on the sea ice by snowmobile and sled or on the water using small boats.
Following the hunt, butchering of the seal takes place on the sea ice where hunters and their families also gather for tea and to eat and play games together. Seal Hunt

In some communities, shared community kitchens provide a space to access traditional Inuit country food that is brought in from the land by local hunters.
Community kitchens provide freezer space to store country food and space for elders to teach younger generations to prepare and cook traditional Inuit foods. Community Kitchen

Country Food Preservation
The construction of a piruliaq (food cache) from large stones is a traditional practice used to store, protect and naturally preserve country food on the land.
On the land, country food can be stored in an ungirlaaq (sewn seal skin bag) in which the food is preserved through a process of fermentation. Country Food Preservation

Modular housing is being explored as a strategy for building housing in the north where the extreme climate and short construction season make traditional construction practices more challenging.
Prefabricated building components are brought to the Arctic from the south by the annual sealift, but efforts are underway to do more prefabrication work in northern communities with local labor. Modular Housing

Small, informal seasonal cabins are built from salvaged material close to winter hunting grounds and used by hunters and their extended family.
Winter cabins are typically small shelters, with either a single or limited number of rooms, which conserves heat in the winter months. Winter Cabin

Canvas Frame Tent
Canvas frame tents are used as temporary dwellings by hunters and travelling families when out on the land. This is typically during warmer months, and, although less frequent, in the winter camps can be set up directly on the sea ice.
The location of temporary camps typically follows traditional Inuit migration routes and seasonal hunting grounds and therefore is informed by deep knowledge of the local geography and ecology. Canvas Frame Tent

Northern Construction
Building crews in the north employ a combination of tradespeople flown in from the south and local builders with traditional knowledge of building in a northern climate.
The cost of construction can be several times that of construction in the south due to the complex logistics of material transport, a short construction season, and sourcing of skilled labor. Northern Construction

In the winter months, Inuit travel across the sea ice by sled to hunting grounds where winter game like nanoq (polar bear), tuktu (caribou) and teriganniaq (artic fox) can be found.
As the sea ice cover expands in the winter, hunters venture further out to the floe edge where they hunt for seals at breathing holes. Winter Hunting Grounds
