The Meaning of Home

Houses across the world have taken many different shapes and sizes, throughout history. For example, the Indigenous people that lived in the Prairies stayed in Teepees. Those people did not stay in one place the whole time because one of their main resources, the buffalo would migrate throughout the Prairies. In Europe, most people liked to live in more permanent dwellings, that were made out of wood and brick, that were not intended to be moved. The more high-end people of Europe lived in castles. A wolf might live in a den or a cave in the forest. Wolves live in packs and stick together and either stay in one place where the food is, or they would travel through the forest and follow their main food source. In Churchill Manitoba where the adorable polar bears live in harsh, cold temperatures and blistering snowy winds. Polar bears in Churchill either live in fluffy snowy dens or just on the plain land of Churchill Manitoba. I love the beautiful northern lights that the polar bears in Churchill Manitoba get to experience every day in their home. All across the world houses have taken many different shapes and sizes. But no matter what house they live in, they share the same Characteristics love, trust and freedom
