About this site

This restoration site is located on land that was formerly used for agriculture and in front of you is a analog house pit constructed for educational purposes. 

Historically, house pits were semi-subterranean structures built using a combination of wood and soil. By being partially dug into the ground, these homes naturally benefited from geothermal insulation, which helped maintain a stable, warmer interior temperature during the cold winter months. This design not only conserved heat but also protected occupants from harsh winds, precipitation, and other challenging environmental conditions. Beyond their practical function, house pits were central to community life, serving as spaces for family gatherings, cultural activities, and the passing down of knowledge across generations. This house pit provides a tangible way for visitors to envision and connect with First Nations culture.
