02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
A central hearth anchors the circular floor, with sleeping, storage, guest, and honoured positions ordered around the lined perimeter.
materials
Long lodgepoles, historically hide and later canvas, painted pigment, wool, rawhide, woven fibre, and wood form a mobile home.
furniture
Robes, blankets, parfleche containers, backrests, bags, cooking vessels, and tools remain portable and radially arranged.
lighting
The smoke opening casts graphic sky light down the poles while the inner liner diffuses lower light and controls drafts.
decoration
Culturally specific painted imagery, parfleche geometry, woven blankets, beadwork, and hide objects carry personal and ceremonial meaning.
