Description

The structure of the Tui'que Huë'e viewed from the east. The image includes the horizontal pieces of wood to which the palm fronds are tied.
Notice the central structure of tall poles that supports the roof. These poles also mark the space that should remain empty, in observance to ethno-religious beliefs.
