What are wigwams made out of?

Answer 1

A wigwam is made of a conical or dome-shaped framework of wooden poles lashed together and covered with sheets of birch bark. Often the bark sheets were removable and could be rolled up and carried to another campsite, where another framework was already in place ready to be covered as a temporary shelter. It follows that wigwams were only made in areas where suitable trees could be found to provide supple poles and sheets of bark.

Some people today call buffalo-hide tipis "wigwams", but this is incorrect.

Answer 2

"Wigwam" comes from a Natick word wekuwomut, "in his house". It is used in English as the name of a wide range of dwellings built by the eastern woodlands tribes, almost always on a framework of poles covered with sheets of tree bark or woven mats of plant fibre.

Wigwams could be dome-shaped (with the support poles bent over and fixed at their tops), cone-shaped or sometimes with an oval or rectangular ground plan. They were generally quite small.
