A tipi (also teepee, tepee) is a conical tent originally made of skins and popularized by the American Indians of the Great Plains. Today, they are usually covered in canvas and lived in by American Indian families attending Pow Wows or Encampments, teaching further generations of traditions. They are also used by historical re-enactors and "back to earth" people, and in some places they are used for tourist lodgings.

A wickiup (or wiki up) is a domed hut-like dwelling used by the semi-nomadic Native American tribes of the arid regions of the west and southwest North America, such as Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Idaho, California, and northern Mexico.

Wigwam may big a slang term coined in movies for a wiki up.

A difference between a tipi and a wigwam is that a tipi is more tent or triangular prism shaped, while a wigwam is more dome shaped. That is one of the differences.
