Most Yaqui house yards are fenced with cane fences, which are rare and of inferior workmanship among the ; Yaqui and Mayo houses usually have one or more rectangular rooms, each with a single door and no windows, except an occasional ventilat- ing hole in some adobe structures (pis. 3,4). A ramada is generally before the house, usually completely open but sometimes partly closed with mats, wattle, or arrowweed walls. Cooking is usually done in a separate structure or, sometimes, under the ramada. The kitchen structures have a more or less rainproof roof in contrast with the ramada.
