What is mi'kmaq shelter?

Mi'kmaq shelter traditionally includes structures like the wigwam, which is a dome-shaped dwelling made of wooden frames covered with bark or animal skins. These shelters were designed for mobility, allowing the Mi'kmaq people to move easily in response to seasonal changes and available resources. The design provided insulation and warmth during colder months while being adaptable to their semi-nomadic lifestyle. In modern times, Mi'kmaq communities may also incorporate contemporary building styles while honoring their cultural heritage.
