picture of sod house

The Inuvialuit of the Western Canadian Arctic built their traditional winter houses from driftwood and sod. This type of house is called an ig-lur-yu-aq.

Inuvialuit Igluryuaq is a popular visitor attraction. Built with sawn drift logs covered with sod clumps for insulation, it is a recreation of a traditional Inuvialuit dwelling.
