Many tribes in the southwestern USA used temporary small brushwood shelters called wickiups, a word possibly from Sac and Fox wiikiyaapi. Although these dwellings often resemble the domed shape of some eastern woodlands wigwams, they do not have the sheets of birch bark coverings which give wigwams their name. Usually grass, branches, leaves, animal hides or blankets were thrown over a rough wooden framework.
Many of the Apache groups used them and there are period photographs of these dwellings; the Plains Apaches adopted tipis instead of wickiups.
The Utes, Paiutes, Bannocks and many California groups also used wickiups, sometimes alongside other types of dwelling.
