The difference between a wigwam and a wikiup is in the languages of the Native Americans who built them, rather than in the structures. The two words mean the same thing: a structure made with a frame that is usually arched, and covered with whatever material was available (such as matting or animal skins). There is a lot of variation in the materials used. Both words ("wigwam" and "wikiup") have been imported into English, but from different Native American languages.
