ABOUT THIS PAGE
The graphic on top, from nineteenth century's Smith geography
textbook, was supposed to show the "types" belonging to
a human race, the "Yellow" or "Mongolian" one.
Anthropologists today state that
such race-based worldview was an invention, and that differences between
human groups are actually related to learned cultural behavior.
The much-necessary (for classification purposes) division on groups made
here at Ethnoarch.com is based on one such cultural aspect, which is
language. This page, accordingly, presents a list of 7,300 or so existing
language groups in the world, following
the naming and coding classification by SIL's Ethnologue.

Overview of Secoya - related architecture
|
|
|
|
Cesáreo, very likely the oldest Secoya (Pai_coca) speaker.

When asked about their distinctive architectural types the Secoya mention two, named Huetara Huë'e and Tui'que Huë'e. The Huetara Huë'e, models of which have not been built in at least one decade, was apparently a wall-less, semi-temporary structure for rituals and other uses. There is an unlabelled plan next to the plan of a Tui'que Huë'e in Günter Tessmann's 1930 description of the group. That seems to be the plan of a Huetara Huë'e, if one compares it to the Secoya narrative descriptions of this house. As for the Tui'que Huë'e, only one single example of this structure survived as of 2003 in Ecuador (none apparently in Peru). That was a demonstrative, uninhabited model that was occasionally used as a setting for tourists to have a grasp on some of the traditional Secoya rituals. The 1930 model drawn by Tessmann was possibly still used as an extended family structure. Tessmann's plan, however, shows certain differences in relation to the 2003 one. The most visible is the location of the entrance, which is right at the end of the central longitudinal axis in his drawing. In the 2003 model this entrance was located in an inconspicuous place towards one side of the east ending. This suggests that the traditional type was subject to changes throughout time.
Other structures, which are simpler in terms of form and technically less elaborated, have come to substitute the two traditional Secoya types. One of them has been borrowed from the Quichua building. It is called Pa'pa Huë'e (palm house). The second one is typical of colonos or peasants immigrating to the area, and is called with the generic "Zinc House." Although externally the Secoya Pa'pa Huë'e and the Quichua House seem identical, Secoya builders point to technical differences in their building, a major one being the thatching techniques. As for the Zinc house, there does not seem to be any particular Secoya adaptation to a type that has become standard in many indigenous and peasant communities in Ecuador and other countries.
