Wigwam \Wig"wam\, n. [From the Algonquin or Massachusetts Indian word w[=e]k, ``his house,'' or ``dwelling place;'' with possessive and locative affixes, w[=e]-kou-om-ut, ``in his (or their) house,'' contracted by the English to weekwam, and wigwam.] An Indian cabin or hut, usually of a conical form, and made of a framework of poles covered with hides, bark, or mats; -- called also tepee. [Sometimes written also weekwam.]
Very spacious was the wigwam,
Made of deerskin dressed and whitened,
With the gods of the Dacotahs
Drawn and painted on its curtains.
--Longfellow.
Note: ``The wigwam, or Indian house, of a circular or oval
shape, was made of bark or mats laid over a framework
of branches of trees stuck in the ground in such a
manner as to converge at the top, where was a central
aperture for the escape of smoke from the fire beneath.
The better sort had also a lining of mats. For entrance
and egress, two low openings were left on opposite
sides, one or the other of which was closed with bark
or mats, according to the direction of the wind.''
--Palfrey.
