La minga o tiradura de casa es una tradicion chilota en la que una familia traslada su casa cerro arriba o abajo, levantándola de sus cimientos y haciéndola rodar sobre "varales" tirados por varias yuntas de bueyes y con la participación de toda la comunidad. A modo de retribución, el dueño ofrece un gran festin al final de la jornada.
El origen de esta tradicion se remonta al vocablo mink’a, usado en quechua, aymara y mapundungun para denotar a un contrato de trabajo en beneficio de la comunidad.

Minga (house pulling) is a chilote tradition of communal work, where a stilt house is moved to a new location by placing it on top of logs and having a group of oxes pull the structure uphill, downhil or across the riverl. Once the house is moved, the happy owner retributes the effort by offering a big meal for the whole community.
This tradition has roots in the word mink’a, which is found in quechua, aymara and mapundungun to convey a form of contract to do communal work in favour of the group.
