kåta are wood and earth structures built by the Sami people in northern Sweden (and I presume Norway, Finland and Russia where they also live).  These are impressive but simple structures.   What would you do if you lived in a very harsh, cold environment and had very few building materials?  The kåta is a sort of wood and earth teepee.  I took shelter briefly in one on a high, coldish, windy plain.  They are quite effective.
