Many of the tribes that used wigwams also used other dwellings such as longhouses, so there is an overlap in building traditions. In addition, not all wigwams were made the same; there were conical (tipi-shaped) versions as well as domed and elongated oval types; coverings could be of bark sheets, woven mats of plant fibre, hides or trade blankets.
Some of the tribes that used wigwams either exclusively or in combination with other dwellings are:
- Ojibwe/Ojibwa/Chippewa
- Maliseet
- Delaware (Lenape)
- Abenaki
- Mi'kmaq
- NIpmuc
- Algonquin
- Menominee
- Sauk
- Fox
- Cree
- Montagnais
- Narragansett
- Wampanoag (includes Massachusett, Nauset, Patuxet, Nantucket and others)
- Ottawa
- Shawnee
- Potawatomi
- Winnebago
- Pequot and Mohegan
- Mahican
- Niantic
- Montauk
- Shinnecock
- Poosepatuck
- Wappinger
- Miami
- Huron/Wendat
- Beothuk
The term wickiup is often used interchangeably with wigwam but I make a clear distinction between the two. Wickiups were generally slightly different shelters of the western and south-western USA, often with only a covering of brushwood and more of a sun screen than a dwelling. The use of the word wigwam for "tipi" is completely incorrect.
