Are they from that northwestern part of Greenland where they first arrived?

Yes, I was going to ask about the igloo, yes.

Right.

Well, I'm going to get straight onto houses now, but you mentioned Disco Bay in passing there, and I've just got it on my maps.

And that looks like two thirds of the way down, or maybe three quarters of the way down there.

So really far south of the original entry point.

And I have in my notes here is one of those early settlements up that far northwest.

Is it Ruin Island, which sounds an incredible name for a settlement, for a place?

Well, you mentioned winter houses there, so I feel it's time that we moved on to the housing of these prehistoric people.

Yes, take it away, Asta, with these winter houses.

What do we know about the structure of these houses?

Because looking at them online, they look absolutely incredible.

So really good of keeping the cold out and the warmth in.

And could they have made a fire in there or would it have smoked out the whole house?

Or was it adept for having a fire as well?

So almost little niches for each family kind of idea, right?

Were these also very communal places as well?

Could you imagine several of these families in one of those houses gathered around a fire, retelling their myths, what their beliefs are?

That part to the story as well.

I'd like to ask a bit more about shamans as we go on.
