Algonquin Indians would build wigwams by:
1. First they would pick the level and area for their wigwam.
2. Then they would stick sticks in the ground in whatever shape their wigwam would be.
3. After that, they would bend the sticks over to meet one another and tie them together securely.
4. Next the Algonquin Indians would repeat step 3 and would use the remaining poles to make 4 hoops around the wigwam staring from the bottom up.
5. Then the people would decorate the inside of the wigwam.
6. Finally the Algonquin Indians would cover their wigwam with mats or tree bark.
A wigwam
The Algonquins lived in wigwams.
Present day Algonquin Indians live in modern homes and apartments.In the past, Algonquin Indians lived in wigwams or wetus. Wigwam is the word for "house" in the Abenaki tribe, and wetu is the word for "house" in the Wampanoag tribe.
Wigwams were made of poles (pine or other hard wood) with animal skins or heavy canvas cloth attached to them. These were handy for migratory people since they could be easily taken down and transported to the next site. "Wigwam" often refers to those lived in by various American indians, but similar types of tents were used by Arabs and others.
The origin of this word is uncertain, but it seems to come from the Algonquin Indian (Native American) language, and refers to a house or a dwelling place. Many of the native tribes lived in homes that were round or dome-shaped.

You could make a model of a wigwam out of clay but for an actual wigwam, poles and hides do a much better job.
