What are wikiups made of?

Wikiups are traditional Native American dwellings typically constructed using a framework of wooden poles or branches. These poles are arranged in a conical shape and often covered with materials such as grass, reeds, or bark for insulation and weatherproofing. The design allows for effective heating and cooling, making them suitable for various climates. Wikiups are usually small and portable, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of many Indigenous peoples.
