Mi'kmaq Wigwams
Today we read a short paragraph about the Mi'kmaq canoes and wigwams. The Mi'kmaq people lived in the area that we call Nova Scotia. The Mi'kmaq people used wigwams as their shelters because they are able to move them. They also build their canoes so that they are able to easily cary them. We learned that this is called "portage".
Their wigwams and canoes are made out of materials that are all found in the woods. They used caribou skin, birchbark, rush mats, and every wigwam had a heath to cook and warm up their home. It was important to have a hole at the top of the wigwam so that the smoke can come out.
Here is an example of what we sketched to show our understanding.
