Build shelter out of caribou skin
12 500 years ago, the glaciers covering Quebec began to retreat. Slowly, a tundra developed. Caribou followed, and then humans. The first Palaeoindians that ventured into the Lake Megantic region had to bring the materials necessary to build their shelter. The skins of large mammals were heavy, and the Palaeoindians had to carry them on their backs or use mats. Perhaps they had dogs to help them....
After a long journey.
A good place to set up shelter!
Unpack the materials: Skin, poles, and tendons.
Get about 10 rocks found on site and place them in a circle.
Then, bring the bundle of skins to the centre of the location and roll them out.
After that, put the rocks on the skins.
The next steps require the poles and the tendons. The shelter has to be set up.
Set up the first pole close to the entrance. Attach it with a tendon, which is stretched to the outside.
Finish by installing the next poles in the same way, but farther back.
