White DM and White KL. 2012. Wickiups of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem :|bconical timber lodges within Bridger-Teton National Forest, Grand Teton National Park, Shoshone National Forest, and Yellowstone National Park
A variety of wooden shelters exist in the northern Plains; among these are conical timber structures popularly referred to as wickiups?. A study focusing on lands administered by Bridger-Teton National Forest (BRTE), Grand Teton National Park (GRTE), Shoshone National Forest (SHOS), and Yellowstone National Park (YELL), shows the term "wickiup" to be imprecisely used in reference to a variety of structures, so the study uses the architecturally descriptive term "conical timber lodge" (CTL) instead. Known CTLs in BRTE, SHOS, and YELL are discussed in detail, and illustrations are provided when available. Historical and ethnographic information is reviewed for each of the 29 tribes currently consulted by BRTE, GRTE, SHOS, and YELL, as well as for nine other tribes that used similar structures. The report includes cultural information and management recommendations for CTLs in the Greater Yelowstone (sic) Ecosystem (GYE) gathered from eighteen interviews representing eleven traditionally associated tribes and bands
