A wigwam is a type of dwelling traditionally used by some Indigenous peoples of North America, particularly the Algonquin tribes. These structures are typically dome-shaped and made from a framework of wooden poles covered with materials like bark, mats, or animal skins. Wigwams are designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, making them suitable for a nomadic lifestyle. Wigwams vary in size and can accommodate small families. They are often built near water sources and are well-suited for the regions where they are found. The design allows for efficient heating and ventilation, making them practical for various climates.
