Wigwam Holidays
Wigwam Holidays – The fun way to camp out
Native Americans had various types of houses in the past. The home lived in by each of these tribes depended on the lifestyle of the Native Americans and the climate. For example, Iroquois Indians lived in Longhouses; the Plains tribes lived in tepees and the Cherokee lived in wattle or daub houses. The Alonquin Indians’ dwellings were known as wigwams. The Alonquin Indians lived in the woodland regions. Therefore, the manner in which the wigwams were built was ideal for the region’s climate and also made use of the available raw material.
Wigwams are small houses made of wooden frames. The height of the houses ranged from 8 to 10 feet. The wooden frames in the wigwams were covered with sheets of birch bark and woven mats. Wigwams come in various shapes. For example, a wigwam can be shaped like a dome, a rectangle with an arched roof or a cone. As the Alonquin tribe were not nomads, the houses enabled them to stay in the same place for months at a time. Most vacationers with a sense of adventure would find wigwam holidays exciting and different.
A modern wigwam is an ideal holiday dwelling that is cosy and comfortable. They are secure and safe too. If you would like to get a chance at experiencing the free spirited nature loving lifestyle of the Native Americans, booking a wigwam holiday is a great idea.
