Oca (structure)

Oca is the name given to the typical Brazilian indigenous housing.

The term comes from the Tupi-Guarani language family.

They are large buildings, serving as collective housing for several families,[1] and may reach 40 m (130 ft) in length.

[2] They are built through joint effort over one week, with a wooden structure and bamboo and straw cover or palm leaves.
