The spelling of "Indian wickape," a traditional piece of clothing worn by Indigenous peoples, can be confusing. The correct pronunciation is /wɪkəpi/, with stress on the first syllable. The spelling of "wickape" reflects the Algonquian language roots of the word, which are found in many Indigenous languages across North America. The word refers to a shirt or tunic-like garment often made from animal hide or cloth. Correct spelling and pronunciation are important for showing respect and sensitivity to Indigenous cultures and their traditions.
