In the Wampanoag language (called Natick) the word for a dwelling is wetu; the locative form is wekuwomut (in his house). It is from this and similar terms in other Algonquian languages that the English word wigwam derives, so clearly the Wampanoag lived in wigwams.
Wampanoag wigwams were quite small and had domed roofs, entirely covered with either sheets of bark or mats of plant material.
A few larger dwellings of longhouse style were also built, but these only had two fires and were therefore much smaller than those of the Iroquois and other groups.
