Just beyond the point of the NANA Regional Corporation Building is a museum exhibit of a sod-covered house, the traditional dwelling of the Eskimos. An entrance passage leads to one large room, lit by an off-center skylight. The walls are formed by vertical half-logs; on the exterior is a thick layer of sod. The same materials are applied to the roof, which is supported on two ridgepoles.
