Throughout Canada's history, definitions of home have been diverse and varied and this legacy continues throughout the nation today. This image from 2006 shows a beaming Canadian Inuit boy inside a traditional igloo home in the North Pole, although most modern Inuit live in regular houses.

Canada's Indigenous Inuit peoples are concentrated across 51 communities in Inuit Nunangat, the group's cultural homeland in the northern Nunavut territory, which spans the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Igloos hold cultural importance and building them is a valuable skill that's still taught in schools throughout Nunavut to preserve this way of life.
