Stilt Houses

Photo Caption:  Inuit village on King Island, Alaska, from up the hill; summer stilt-houses with hide or fabric covers, some with rectangular window visible. Probably photographed 1927.


The larger cousin of Little Diomede is called King Island. It is the close by and larger in land mass as well as population. These traditional stilt houses are just as they would be found on Little Diomede around the time that my grandma lived there.
