What does the mi'kmaq homes look like?

Answer 1

The most common shelter used by the Mi'kmaq was the wikuom or wigwam . There were two types. The small cone-shaped style, that could hold up to 10-12 people, and the large oval shelter, which could hold as many as 24 occupants. In both cases, the structure is based on a pole frame, covered with birch bark or, more rarely, hides. Because of the effort required to harvest birch bark sheets, the coverings were usually packed carried from location to location as the tribe moved seasonally.

A rock circle as a fireplace stood in the centre, under the vented top to provide heat and light. The floor was generally covered with soft fir boughs, which provided a comfortable surface for sitting or sleeping.

Answer 2

Wood and moose hide because in my text book it shows a picture of a shelter that had wood and lots of cloth on it.

the mi'kmaq used birch bark and poles for their houses, they also used dried eel grass for insulation as well. They lived in lodges and wigwams.

Answer 3

Mi'kmaq people today live in the same kinds of houses as everyone else.

Historically they used very distinctive summer and winter wigwams of timber covered with birch bark. The Mi'kmaq name for these homes is wikuom. The type used in winter was circular or oval, the summer version was made more rectangular with two fire pits inside.
