In the cold climate，plants cannot grow．So the people have to build their houses with skins，earth，stone or snow．When they go out to hunt something，they live in tents of skins．When they move，they take their tents with them．Sometimes，they build houses of snow．Now don’t think that these houses must be cold．In fact，they are very warm and safe．
