USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -A wigwam was a type of house used mainly by Algonquian peoples but also other Indigenous peoples in the eastern half of North America in precolonial days. (See also Indigenous Peoples of the Eastern Woodlands in Canada.)

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The Algonquin (Omamiwinini) farmed and lived in settled villages and built entire villages of wigwams. Unlike teepees, wigwams were not portable. As the region was covered in trees, wigwams were built from wooden lumber and branches, with wood or stretched tree bark used for the walls.

Detailed explanation-4: -wickiup, also called wigwam, indigenous North American dwelling characteristic of many Northeast Indian peoples and in more limited use in the Plains, Great Basin, Plateau, and California culture areas.

Detailed explanation-5: -Wigwams were homes built by the Algonquian tribes of American Indians living in the Northeast. They were built from trees and bark similar to the longhouse, but were much smaller and easier to construct. Wigwams used poles from trees that would be bent and tied together to make a dome shaped home.
