USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -One of the shelters of the Eastern Woodland tribes is called Wigwams . They are made of whatever the Native Americans had available. Such as: bark, animal skins, and water tight rush mats made of cattails. In the winter all of these items will be used.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eastern Woodland Native Americans commonly lived in wigwams or wickiups. The frame was made of willow saplings. The frame was also covered with woven cattail mats or bark. A fire pit would have been located in the middle and bedding on the floor or on raised bed frames made of sticks.

(See also Architectural History of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.)

Detailed explanation-4: -A wigwam is a dome-shaped shelter, covered in bark or hides, built and used by Native Americans. It’s also a really fun word to say out loud. One type of Native American shelter is the teepee. While a teepee has a pointy top, a wigwam is curved like a dome. A wigwam is made from barks or hides stretched over poles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Wigwams (or wetus) are Native American houses used by Algonquian Indians in the woodland regions. Wigwam is the word for “house” in the Abenaki tribe, and wetu is the word for “house” in the Wampanoag tribe. Sometimes they are also known as birchbark houses. Wigwams are small houses, usually 8-10 feet tall.
