salmon skins sewn together which serve a like purpose in connection with the winter huts of the Carriers. The average dimensions of a hogan are about fourteen feet in diameter. A light excavation of the ground floor contributes to give it some seven feet in height. Slabs of stone also enter occasionally in the make up of those hovels. Nay, Schoolcraft goes so far as to give, but wrongly, this style as the national “Navaho wigwam” h According to the same author “the fire for cooking is external”. The Carrier winter hut was more elaborate in its construction. But, strange to say, while the hogan is the only habitation of the Navahoes that can claim any degree of permanency, their summer shelters being hastily built and as speedily abandoned, the winter residences of the northerners lasted only one season and their summer lodges remained in use as long as they were in good repair. New winter quarters were prepared every year in such spots as promised to yield the best supply of fire-wood, a consideration not to be overlooked with an inclement climate like that of the Carrier habitat. Four posts a supported two longitudinal beams or plates b, over which split poles of spruce or aspen were laid in a slanting position from the outside, thus forming a roof without walls, the split sides resting immediately on the plates b. To ensure additional comfort and warmth inside, the lower end of each stick was covered up with earth. The middle ones were made pur posely shorter, so as to create an opening for the smoke. A covering of spruce bark was then added, with poles res ting against it for a support. To form the gable end opposite to the entrance a transversal Fig. 16. beam c was laid on side plate b, while uprights filled in the whole space, over which fascines of evergreens or saplings leant so as to close all possible interstices. As to the entrance, it was formed by two stakes driven in the ground and the resulting space either closed by means of sewn salmon skins, or by a large board which, suspended from above, was allowed to swing in or out according to the movements of the inmates. As a further precaution against the cold, a door-yard or vestibule was added by means of poles whose small ends rested on the gable, while their butts described a semi-circle on the ground. An additional entrance was closed by some worthless skin in the hair. This semi-circular appendage was covered with brush, and served not only as a shelter for fire-wood, but also 1 1 “Archives of Aboriginal Knowledge’’, vol. Ill, p. 70.
