Title
Wickiup made of Elm Bark; Mahaska County, Iowa
Description
This is a photograph taken of a wickiup, a dwelling style used by nations falling under Algonquin influence (Great Lakes and Midwest). This particular wickiup was composed of elm bark, which is a common tree found in the Midwestern part of the United States, specifically in Mahaska County, Iowa, where this wickiup was found. The Ioway Nation, which is part of the Algonquin culture, would have made this wickiup, as the Ioway Nation was established in Mahaska County, Iowa during the time this wickiup was built.
