The Inuit summer homes were called "qarmat" or "tents," typically constructed using materials like animal skins, driftwood, or canvas. These structures were designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, allowing for mobility and adaptation to the seasonal environment. Unlike their winter homes, which were often made of ice and snow, summer homes provided better ventilation and protection from the elements during warmer months.

Inuit
Years ago the Inuit built many types of houses. Inuit who lived near coasts built homes from sod and whale bones or rocks. Some Inuit stretched caribou skins over a wooden frame to make their homes. Some put summer tents made of seal skins. Inuit used used snow houses mainly while hunting. Today, most Inuit live in modern wooden houses.
In the winter the inuit people lived in igloos made of hard ice blocks. In the summer they lived in tents
Inuit traditionally built homes called igloos, which are dome-shaped structures made from blocks of compressed snow, providing insulation against the harsh Arctic climate. During warmer months, they often constructed tents made of animal skins or used sod houses. These homes were designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of many Inuit groups as they followed migratory patterns of game. Modern Inuit may also live in contemporary houses, but traditional building techniques still hold cultural significance.
