Caribou is a type of animal, somewhat like a deer. Hide is a product made from animal skin. It's leather, but with the hair still attached (although caribou are not notably hairy).
They primarily used tipis - straight wooden poles with moose or caribou hide to cover.
Yes it is considered to be endangered, and has been a protected species since it was included in the Endangered Species Act of 1983. There has been some talk of removing the caribou from the list, but thus far, it has not happened.
Caribou are domesticated in many parts of the Arctic. Their milk is used as food, and so is their meat. When the caribou are slaughtered for meat, their hide is also used to make portable shelters and warm clothing. They are also used as beasts of burden.
Athabascans lived in shelters covered by caribou hide or wooden structures that were buried partially into hills or snow.
