Shelter Frame

Posted in Primary Sources and Artifacts

This is a modern reproduction of a shelter frame. The frame would have been covered with skins and hides and called alakiihkwikaani. Myaamia towns like Pinkwaawilenionki would have had a combination of homes in this style and European style cottages with a large central tribal longhouse for meetings and ceremonials.
