USES OF DOMES Dome, a roof circular or (rarely) elliptical in plan and usually hemispherical in form, placed over a circular, square, oblong, or polygonal space. Domes have been built with a wide variety of outlines and of various materials. Dome were used for tombs, prayer rooms, cultural heritage, climate protection and to catch the natural light. DOMES FROM EXTREMADURA AND 'RURAL TOURISM' Restored domes are used nowadays as second home and rural holidays on weekends/summer . STONE WALLS AND VEGETABLE COVERS IN THE VILLAGE OF “ MEMBRÍO ” CLASSROOM NATURE PROJECT DOME USED AS STABLE (EXTREMADURA) APACHE WIGWAM A wigwam, wickiup or wetu is a domed room dwelling formerly used by certain Native American and Canadian First Nations tribes, and still used for ceremonial purposes. The wigwam is not to be confused with the Native Plains tipi which has a very different construction, structure, and use. IGLOO Shelter built in blocks of snow (snow igloo, the best known), they usually have the shape of a dome. The igloos are usually associated with the Inuit, the indigenous people of the Far North of Canada. They were used as temporary shelters by hunters during the winter and perhaps now have greater recreational use utilitarian. MUSGUM DWELLING IN CAMEROON Musgum dwelling units are traditional domestic structures built of mud in a variety of shapes, such as tall domed by the ethnic Musgum people in Cameroon. They are considered to be an important architectural style of Cameroon, although not in fashion in the present day. Musgums form part of a complex of housing units, granaries, and a central courtyard enclosed within a thatched compound wall. Domes can be used in sport halls, theatres, greenhouses, concert halls, oil tanks, silos, houses, shopping malls, mosques, churches and schools.

Winter Camping and Backpacking Tips
Winter Camping and Backpacking Tips Camping or backpacking in the snow appeals to anyone who enjoys the beauty and peacefulness of a pristine winter wonderland. There are no bugs or crowds, and who doesn't enjoy playing in the snow? With a little preparation, you also might be surprised at how comfortable it can be. Here's a look at how to get started. Pre-trip Planning Winter outings offer different challenges than summer camping. You must be prepared for more severe weather and shorter daylight hours by having extra gear and additional skills. Before you leave home, have a plan. Don't go alone. Share your adventure with a few friends who have expertise in different winter skills (snow shelters, route finding, snow travel, etc.). Study maps and research the area. How long will it take to get there and set up camp? If something goes wrong, what emergency services (i.e., medical, search & rescue) are closest? Talk to people who have been there and can give you pointers. Check the weather forecast. Are conditions favorable? The NOAA-NWS Web site offers detailed backcountry forecasts. Check the local road and trail conditions. Recognize and avoid avalanche areas. Check the local avalanche forecast and don't go if avalanche danger is high. Keep in mind that avalanche forecasts may be general and not accurate for specific areas. If you are on or near any slope greater than 20°, your group should have formal avalanche training. Leave a trip plan. Let others know where you'll be, when you'll be there, when you'll return, vehicle information and names and contact number for participants in your group.

Iñiqpagmiut Iñupiat Quliaqtuanit
Running head: Iñiqpaġmiut Iñupiat Quliaqtuaŋit Iñiqpaġmiut Iñupiat Quliaqtuaŋit Iñupiat Urban Legends: An Analysis of Contemporary Iñupiat Living in an Urban Environment A Project Presented to the Faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Cross Cultural Studies By Charles Sean Topkok, B.A. Asiqłuq Fairbanks, Alaska June 2010 Iñiqpa ġmiut Iñupiat Quliaqtua ŋit 1 Abstract The urban Iñupiat have a story to share with other Iñupiat. It is not blood quantum that defines the Alaska Native. All contemporary Iñupiat have adapted to contemporary times, whether they live in a rural community or in an urban setting. Western influence has affected all of our lives. The analysis of contemporary Iñupiat living in an urban environment will contribute to the understanding of all Iñupiat today. The adaptations are relevant wherever the Iñupiat live. This is a fairly new research concept, since the situation of urban Iñupiat occupation is occurring more frequently nowadays. This may directly relate to other Alaska Native groups living in an urban environment. Each Alaska Native group has their own set of Native values. The Native values help define their Native cultural heritage. How the Alaska Native people define who they are is interconnected with the Alaska Native values that the Elders have established to pass on to the future cultural bearers. Acknowledgements I want to thank Ronald Brower, Sr. for helping me with the proper translation for my research title. I also want to thank the Pavva Iñupiaq Dancers and the urban Iñupiat for their continued support of my research.

Outside with Nature
Outside With Nature Tired of being cooped up indoors? Do you need some fresh air and sunlight? Have an adventure outdoors and calm the winter doldrums with some free activities that you can do alone or with your family. Scientific studies have shown that connecting with nature improves problem- solving skills, increases self-esteem, compassion and understanding for others, as well as our planet. Exploring the outdoors can take place anytime of day, allowing you to learn about yourself and the world around you. So bundle up and get going! Sunrise Spectacular Task: Find out the next day's sunrise time. Set your alarm clock and get outside while it is still dark. You may want to make a thermos full of hot cocoa to enjoy as you are watching the sun come up. Bonus Challenge: Find a spot where you can sit quietly so that the birds can forget you are there. Count how many birds you hear. Once inside, write a nature haiku about your sunrise experience - think about the colors, animals, birds, sounds, what did you feel for your poem. Haiku are poems that contain three lines. The first line contains five syllables, the second line contains seven syllables, and the final line contains five syllables. Use your imagination; it's harder than you think. A Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry that usually has a focus on nature.

Sekaquaptewa, JD, Co-Chair Department of Alaska Native Studies & Rural Development (DANSRD) Abstract In the late 1800’s, the Evangelical Covenant Church established a mission in Ugalaqliq (Unalakleet), a predominantly Inupiaq community along the Norton Sound in Western Alaska. Missionaries were integral in establishing a localized education system under the direction of the General Agent of Education, Sheldon Jackson, in the early 1900’s. By 1915, the community was no longer engaging in ancestral practices such as deliberating, teaching and hosting ceremonies within the qargi. Nor were they uplifting shared history and relationships between villages or expressing gratitude for the bounty of the lands through traditional songs, dances, or celebrations such as theKivgiq Messenger Feast. In my research, I focus on events that occurred in Ugalaqliq around the turn of the 20th century and analyze how those events influenced the formation of the education system and its ongoing impacts on Native peoples and communities today.
