Best Answer

In most cases the Mi'kmaq wigwam was conical in shape. Tall poles arranged with the bases of the pole forming a circle and meeting together at the top. The poles were covered in sheets of white Birch or pliable cedar bark strips. Hides were seldom used as they were too heavy for carrying from camp to camp each season.

See related link for some photos of Mi'kmaq shelters.
