The Mohawk tribe.
depending on where they lived some didn't have wood. For instance the plains tribes used buffalo chips for campfires because there is no wood on the plains. but northeastern tribes had wood to build homes with and use in various ways. "Native Americans" is many different tribes and people with many languages and cultures there is no homogeneous Native American.
Your question is asking about two different Native American tribes. The northeastern tribes lived in long houses and the idea of "wigwams " comes from the Americanization of the plains tribes teepee. The plains tribes followed the buffalo herds and had summer and winter camps and needed a shelter they could break down.
