A lot of different nomadic tribes did - the wigwam, unlike most tipis (teepees), was for temporary or mobile use.

The Abenaki (also Wabanaki) are a tribe of Native Americans/First Nations belonging to the Algonquian peoples of northeastern North America. The two major tribes within the Abenaki people are Western Abenaki and Eastern Abenaki.
Most Abenaki settlements used dome-shaped, bark covered wigwams for housing, though a few prefered oval-shaped long houses. During the winter, the Abenaki lived in small groups farther inland. The homes there were barke-covered wigwams shaped in a way similar to the teepees of the Great Plains Indians.

Before the coming of the horse, the plains were inhabited mainly by agricultural people living in river valleys. In the woodlands -- lake and forest land -- an older form of small, crude conical tipi was used in summers, and in an extended, shedlike version, to shelter the boiling kettles for spring maple sugaring. It's made of sheets of birch bark, insulated with many woven reed mats, all held in place by log bracers. This picture shows a couple of reservation police (they're wearing star badges) posing with their Minnesota Ojibwe family outside a birch bark tipi in 1905. By this time, these tipis were used only for summer camping. This type of bark tipi, and an equally small one made of hides, used all across the north on the tundra in summers, is not very comfortable, and not good winter protection."

"The Algonquins didn't live in tepees. For most of the year they lived in settled villages of birchbark houses, called waginogans or wigwams. During the winter, the village split up for hunting trips, and Algonquin families built smaller cone-shaped wigwams like this, also made from birch bark."

"Kickapoo Indians were a tribe who lived in the Great Lakes region of the United States, before white settlers arrived. Until the 1800`s, the Kickapoo inhabited woodland areas. They built dome shaped wigwams covered with bark to live in."

"Beothuk housing varied a great deal and seems to have evolved over the years. Initially, most used either a conical wigwam built around a framework of saplings and covered with sheets of birch bark. "

Tipis or tepees are adaptations of Wigwams that were invented by the Plains First Peoples. Seven main styles of Native American housing were invented the Wickiup, the Wigwam, the Longhouse, the Tipi, the Hogan, the Dugout, and the Pueblo.
