A wigwam, wickiup or wetu is a domed dwelling formerly used by certain Native American and First Nations tribes, and still used for ceremonial purposes. The term wickiup is generally used to label these kinds of dwellings in the Southwestern United States and West, while wigwam is usually applied to these structures in the Northeastern United States and Canada. Wetu is the Wampanoag term for a wigwam dwelling. These terms can refer to many distinct types of Native American structures regardless of location or cultural group. The wigwam is not to be confused with the Native Plains tipi, which has a very different construction, structure, and use.
The domed, round shelter was used by many different Native American cultures. The curved surfaces make it an ideal shelter for all kinds of conditions.
These structures are formed with a frame of arched poles, most often wooden, which are covered with some sort of roofing material. Details of construction vary with the culture and local availability of materials. Some of the roofing materials used include grass, brush, bark, rushes, mats, reeds, hides or cloth. Men built the wigwams and the women put on the coverings.

HERE IT IS! WIGWAM REDEMPTION in Holbrook Arizona! You may remember that I stayed the wigwams in Rialto/San Bernardino California, with very sketchy and disturbing results, but after receiving a refund from those wigwams, I decided to redeem the Route 66 experience and my bucket list dream by traveling the mother road to Holbrook Arizona and sleeping in the original Route 66 Teepees, WIGWAM VILLAGE #6! Come with me and check out the real-life equivalent of Disney/Pixar's Cozy Cone motel from Cars Land, The Holbrook Wigwams! http://livefastdiepoor.spreadshirt.com http://patreon.com/justinscarred http://www.sleepinawigwam.com
