description: Three Metis Men At Island Lake, Mb, Mixing Mud And Straw With Their Feet. The Mud Is Mixed With Straw & Used To Plaster Over The Logs In Walls And Improve Insulation. To Begin This Task, First A Hole Is Dug In The Ground To Get Below The Topsoil; Then The Hole Is Filled With Water And Selected Clay Is Added. The Men Mix This With Their Feet, Getting A Good Consistency With The Mud. Too Dense A Consistency Would Not Allow The Straw To Mix Well In The Mud And Too Thin Would Not Be Good Either Because It Would Lack Stability. A Fence And A Building Are Behind The Men
