That is the fascination behind Andy’s Igloo. It not only brings people together, but also can bring out a side of people that they had never envisioned before. That, among a multitude of reasons, is what makes this place so unique in Polk County. This place is a landmark of Polk County and rightfully so. I hope that the owners will continue to serve its residents with the same amount of passion and pride as the day that it opened for many more generations to come. Whether you are old or new to Polk County, Andy’s Igloo can captivate both your heart and your stomach in ways that will remind you of the simplest joys in life. Perhaps in that lies the greatest thing about this place. It is not the food or the service. It is not the age or the aesthetics. It is how it makes people feel whether they are right there or are just thinking about it. And each person feels in so many different ways.

The Inuit can also build houses out of wood but it is very rare to see in a village because there are not a lot of trees in the arctic for them to cut down and build as houses, plus it takes more effort and work when they could just have an igloo and get other more important things done. Next thing that is different between the other two tribes is that the Inuit think that they are the most important barometer in the world because what happens in the world, like global changes, always happen there first. Therefore we can figure out what’s gonna happen to us in the next few years from the information based off of the arctic.

In my opinion, I really don’t hear people say it that often and if I do hear it people are either making fun of it or the older people say it at the end of a sentence. My sixth symbol I have chosen is the inukshuk because it represents the winter olympic games that were held in Vancouver, BC in 2010. That was a big thing for Canada and still is to this day.
