GIVE BRAINLESIT !!!! HurryyyRead the passage from "The Education of a Young Chief" by George Copway.
Our wigwam we always carried with us wherever we went. It was made in the following
manner: Poles were cut about fifteen feet long; three with crotches at the end, which were
stuck in the ground some distance apart, the upper ends meeting, and fastened with bark;
and then other poles were cut in circular form and bound round the first, and then covered
with plaited reeds, or sewed birch-bark, leaving an opening on the top for the smoke to
escape. The skins of animals formed a covering for a gap, which answered for a door. The
family all sat, tailor-fashion, on mats. In the fall and winter they were generally made more
secure, for the purpose of keeping out the rain and cold.
What inference can you make from this passage?
O George Copway's tribe stayed in one place and did not move much.
O Young George resented all of the work it took to put-up a wigwam.
O Wigwams are carefully designed to ensure they are easy to transport, set up, and break down.
O Wigwams were inefficient housing for George and his family.
