The term wickiup is generally used to label these kinds of dwellings in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwestern_United_States" title="Southwestern United States">American Southwest</a> and West. Wigwam is usually applied to these structures in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeastern_United_States" title="Northeastern United States">American Northeast</a>. The use of these terms by non-Native Americans is somewhat arbitrary and can refer to many distinct types of Native American structures regardless of location or cultural group. The wigwam is not to be confused with the Native Plains <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipi" title="Tipi">tipi</a> which has a very different construction, structure, and use.
<h2>
	Structure</h2>

	The domed, round shelter is used by many different Native American cultures. The curved surfaces make it an ideal shelter for all kinds of conditions. It was as safe and warm as the best houses of early colonists.

	These structures are formed with a frame of arched poles, most often wooden, which are covered with some sort of roofing material. Details of construction vary with the culture and local availability of materials. Some of the roofing materials used include grass, brush, bark, rushes, mats, reeds, hides or cloth.
<h3>
	Wigwams of Northeast</h3>

	Wigwams are most often seasonal structures although the term is applied to rounded and conical structures built by Native American groups that are more permanent. Wigwams usually take longer to put up than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipi" title="Tipi">tipis</a> and their frames are usually not portable like a tipi.

Brandon runs Pixel & Tonic, where he explores the potential of user experience on the web. He believes that small details matter most, and have the power to create a meaningful connection between user and software.

These explorations tend to manifest themselves in ExpressionEngine add-ons. To date he has released four award-winning add-ons that have become essential to EE development. As Simon Collison, Creative Director of Erskine Design put it:
“You pretty much cannot build a website without these now.”
