OUJE BOUGOUMOU VILLAGE
OUJE BOUGOUMOU VILLAGE
The community members chose the site, on the shores of Lake Opemiska, close to all the traditional trap lines. They also sat down with architects and explained the science underlying the traditional Cree dwelling, the astchiiugamikw. The idea for many of the community buildings in Oujé-Bougoumou was based upon the structure of the astchiiugamikw. The dwelling is constructed of a wooden frame in teepee-like fashion, and covered with a combination of moss and sand. The ceiling reaches the earth. A partially dug-out interior surrounds a stone fire pit. Sweet-smelling spruce boughs keep the floor fresh and soft underfoot. The interior is bathed in natural light from a fire hole at its apex.
