WANIGAN ˈwä-ni-gən. From the Ojibwa word wa·nikka·n, meaning pit. 

1. A shelter (as for sleeping, eating, or storage) often mounted on wheels or tracks and towed by tractor, or mounted on a raft or boat. On the log drives that once took place down the Clearwater River, the wanigan served as shelter, cook shack, and sleeping quarters for the men who worked on the river, risking their lives to free the logs each spring for their long trip down to Lewiston.

2. A dynamic acoustic band known for its wealth of original story songs. Characterized by close three- and four-part harmonies backed by mandolin, fiddle, banjo, guitar, and bass; the band’s style can be best described as bluegrass, etc.
