The word wigwam is connected to the word for birchbark in the various Algonquian languages:
Ojibwe............wikih, wiigwaas
Abanaki...........wigwa-
Mohegan..........wuc'hkapiyuk
It follows that wigwams were generally covered with birchbark and were constructed in the eastern woodlands area, where birch trees are a common native species. In the north-eastern area (the territory of the Iroquois) elm bark was used instead.
Wigwams were built in a range of shapes: some were made with a framework of supple poles curved together and tied, creating a domed shape. Some were built on a conical framework, like a tipi but smaller. Others were longhouses with either curved or flat ends and curved or pitched roofs.
