   These lodge poles were steadied by being lashed to a couple of cross poles whose arch conformed to the inner curve of the lodge. The covering was preferably made of mooseskins sewn together although caribouskins were used if the former were not available. Sometimes the upper part of the cover was of mooseskins while caribouskins were used for the sides.
