To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is then walled up andthe regular door cut, about two feet high, and nitched at the top. Itwould bring bad luck to carry the bedding into the igloo by the samedoor it would be taken out. Before the door is opened the bed isconstructed, of snow-blocks, and made from one to three or four feethigh, and occupies about three-fourths of the entire space. The higherthe bed and the lower the door, the warmer the igloo will be.
The house being built, passes into the care of the women, who arrangethe b...eds and put up the lamps for lighting, warming, and cooking. Thewoman's place in the igloo is on either side of the bed, and next tothe wall. In front of her she arranges her lamp, which is a long, shallow basin of soapstone, the front edge straight and the backdescribing an arc. The wick, which is composed of pulverized moss, isarranged along the front edge, and kept moistened by the oil that fillsthe lamp by tilting it forward--the lamp being delicately poised, withthis end in view, upon three sticks driven into the snow beneath it.
