tupiq
The tupiq (plural: ''tupiit'', Inuktitut syllabics: ᑐᐱᖅ〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tupiq )〕) is a traditional Inuit tent made from seal or caribou〔(Warm Season Dwellings -Tupiq )〕 skin. Inuit must kill 5 to 10 ''ugjuk''〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bearded seal )〕 (bearded seals) to make a seal skin tent. If a man goes hunting for four to five, he would bring a small tent made out of five ''ugjuit''. A family tent would be made of ten or more ''ugjuit''.
==Fabrication and use==
After the bearded seal is killed, its fat is scraped off, then the skin is stretched to dry. Finally, women will sew it together to make a tent.
The tupiq was used on the land not on the sea ice. It was portable for travel and lasted several years. When stored over the winter, the tupiq had to be kept away from dogs. In the summer the tupiq was used as shelter, then in the fall when it got colder, the Inuit moved into sod houses (''qammaq'') and the tupiq was used for the roof. In winter, the Inuit lived in ''igluit'' when the snow was good enough to build them. Then in the spring when the iglu melted, they moved back into the tupiq.
The tupiq was important traditionally, but is rarely used in modern times. Today most Inuit use canvas tents called ''tupikhaq''.〔
