Editing Aleuts (section)

===Housing===
Aleuts constructed partially underground houses called ''[[barabara]]''. According to [[Lillie McGarvey]], a 20th-century Aleut leader, {{Lang|ale|barabara}}''s'' keep "occupants dry from the frequent rains, warm at all times, and snugly sheltered from the high winds common to the area".{{citation needed|date=September 2013}} Aleuts traditionally built houses by digging an oblong square pit in the ground, usually {{convert|50|by|20|ft|m}} or smaller. The pit was then covered by a roof framed with driftwood, thatched with grass, and then covered with earth for insulation.<ref>Cook, James (1999).

The bedrooms were at the back of the lodge, opposite the entrance. Several families would stay in one house, with their own designated areas. Rather than fireplaces or bonfires in the middle, lanterns were hung in the house.
