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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Like their Anishinaabeg relatives, the Algonquin lived in easily disassembled birch bark dwellings known as wigwams, and shared knowledge of their culture through oral history.
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: -Longhouses were the traditional homes for many of the farming tribes of American Indians that lived in southern New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The Haudenosaunee people of upstate New York were among them.
