Historically, the tribe constructed birch bark shelters. Birch bark was used for a variety of other purposes but was included in the coverings of their wiknom ("wigwam" eng.). There were basically two types of shelters built. The smaller, conical-shaped style which could hold 10-12 people was used in the winter. Easy to construct and keep warm. And the larger, oblong variety (10-24 occupants) for use during the warmer months. The Micmac were semi-nomadic, they routinely moved between summer fishing villages near the coast to inland locations for winter hunting.
