WigwamColrain, Massachusetts
Off the Mohawk Trail, this small wigwam sits on a hillside
overlooking the valley. It appears to belong to a nearby farm,
and strikes me as a tribute although its actual
history is unknown to me.

This is a nice tribute to the native Indians still living in Massachusetts today.
Nicely done, Sunny.
What a lovely scene. I wonder if you can go inside.
My uncle grew up near Springfield and later moved to Charlemont. He was half Mohawk, half French Canadian. He spoke only French until he left the farm to go to school. His community was close-knit. This wigwam makes me wonder just how many are left there. It's nice to see. Thanks for the great photo, Sunny.
A wonderful tribute to an amazing people.
What a great capture! How neat to see one of these. I haven't seen these around here... great photo, Sunny.
Whoever put it up knew what they were doing. It looks like it is on the side of hill but is standing straight up.
So thoughtful!
God bless you!

Oooo a real wigwam. My first sighting outside of books.
If this was put up as a tribute, it's an effective one. Thanks for sharing a wonderful picture.
I live in former Sioux country so there are a lot of citizens here that have found their Indian roots. So we see one of these every once in a while in back yards. Your photo looks like it is a fairly authentically made tepee. It is a nice photo.
What a wonderful tribute...and what a wonderful find!
What a great photo and nice tribute to the Native Americans. My husband is part Cherokee.

Oh wow. Neat picture! That's very interesting!! I can't help but wonder what it looks like inside.

I think they are fascinating structures. To think that Native Americans toughed the winter out in them is unbelievable. Great find.
Neat Sunny.... You'll have to find out its history and tell us. What a neat tribute ---if that is why it is there.
Great post!
Hugs,

That's a wonderful image Sunny, lovely photo. I wonder if anyone sleeps in it? I had a friend who went camping and they had these structures to sleep in. She made it sound like such fun.
That is so cool. I have Native American Indian in my blood and I feel proud to belong to such a noble native people. And it is ever such a minute amount. If you were to see my long blonde hair you would wonder. (grin)
This photo is beautiful to me.
when i see a teepee or wigwam, I always wonder how they survived the winters in them. brrrhh just thinking about it. I have never seen one in real life, only in pictures. enjoyed this one
