You mean wigwams, a word that derives from the Etchemin word weekwahm (his house). This in turn comes from the general Algonquian word wikih, meaning birchbark, since this was the usual material used for covering a wigwam.
It follows that in order to build a wigwam you need large amounts of birchbark, so wigwams were constructed by many of the tribes living in the eastern woodlands of North America. The Micmac, Abenaki, Ojibwe, Algonkin, Montagnais, Attikamek, Cree, Ottawa, and many more groups used this style of small, temporary dwelling.
Wigwams could be made in various shapes: some were domed, based on very long, flexible wooden frames with both ends of the supports fixed in the ground; others were shaped like a small tipi and based on a conical wooden framework. The large covering sheets of bark would be overlapped to keep out wind and rain and could be rolled up and removed to take to a new campsite.
It is wrong to call the large hide-covered tipis of the Plains culture wigwams, since they were never covered with birchbark.
