Hardly any Alaskan natives live in igloos. Most have regular houses.

Igloos were useful because they could be readily made from items at hand (ice and snow) and lasted one or several seasons.

Native Eskimos using ice and snow for housing is no more remarkable than the southwest Indians using clay or the northwest Indians using wood.
