Pictures From Wigwam Building Project
at Jefferson Patterson Park, May, 2003 

This 14' wigwam is the first building in a project to recreate a Woodland Indian village at the Park, which will eventually include a longhouse and a couple of more wigwams.

The raw poplar bark         Charring the frame poles        Striping the bark lashing

                       

Making the frame              Lashing it together                 Laying on the bark

                       

Dawn working high               Taking shape                      The first row is on!

                       

From the inside                      From the outside                 The building crew!
