While working on this illustration of a wigwam used by the indigenous people of North America  — I based mine on the wigwams made of bark by the Algonquin —I felt like an elementary school child working on a presentation for class. I seem to remember drawing all sorts of Native American housing for school reports: wigwams, tipis, longhouses ... again, some things never change.
