Wigwams are traditional dwellings used by some Native American tribes, particularly those in the northeastern United States. They are typically dome-shaped and constructed using a framework of wooden poles covered with materials like bark, mats, or animal hides. Wigwams are designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, making them suitable for a nomadic lifestyle. These structures vary in size and can accommodate several people. Wigwams are often associated with tribes such as the Algonquin and Iroquois. They provide shelter from the elements and are well-suited for the regions where these tribes lived, offering warmth in winter and ventilation in summer.
