What language does the word wigwam come from?

The word "wigwam" comes from the Algonquian language family, specifically from the Narragansett and Abenaki languages.

It's important to note that "wigwam" is a specific type of dwelling used by certain Indigenous peoples in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. It's not a universal term for all Native American homes.
