What are Algonquins wiwams made out of?

Algonquin wiwams, or wigwams, are traditionally constructed using a framework of wooden poles, typically made from birch or saplings, arranged in a circular shape. The structure is then covered with materials such as bark, animal skins, or mats made from grasses or reeds, providing insulation and protection from the elements. This design allows for easy assembly and disassembly, suited to the nomadic lifestyle of the Algonquin people.
