  Huaca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many of the early civilizations of Peru considered all the world to be sacred and alive; this concept meant that anything of significant beauty or strength would be called a huaca.
In this instance huacas and pacarinas became significant centers of shared worship and a point of unification of ethnically and linguistically diverse empire bringing unity and citizenship to often geographically disparate peoples.
This led eventually to a system of pilgrimages throughout all of these various shrines by the indigenous people of the empire prior to the introduction of Catholicism.

 The Recognition of Ethnic Identity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Referring specifically to groups in the Andean area, Rostworowski (1990:16-21) suggests that the following cultural attributes were considered key identifiers of ethnic groups; these attributes, of documented significance in early historic times, would also have been important in late prehistoric times.
Such unity is expressed by a people's shared belief that their ancestors all emerged from the same origin place (pacarina).
Common origin may also be related to worship of particular divinities (huacas) which pertain to the whole ethnic group.

 [No title]
In that era, when the earth did not support the weight of huge cities nor was it decorated with arterial scars, there lived in the coasts of Manta (Ecuador) the Cacique Cuyaypag with his wife Pacarina.
The justice and goodness which the Cacique imposed on all his acts were reflected in the respect and affection which the entire town had for him.
The flapping of his wings, scraping the sky, generated strong winds which destroyed the trees amidst dark clouds of dust; huge rivers and dense forests were left devastated, resulting in a wide path of ruins.

 Aymara Creation and Celestial World View
For the Inca, recounting their myth of genesis, Tiahuanaco was the pacarina: the holy place of human emergence.
The Creator of the Andean world was an imagemaker; he skillfully sculptured the many nations of humankind in stone at Tiahuanaco, and then called them to life from the heart of the earth.
The variations of the genesis myth recorded by Betanzos and Molina not only identify Tiahuanaco as the pacarina, the sacred place of origin for the physical universe, but also as the central point of partition of the social universe.

Estaba casado con una mujer muy bondadosa, bella y blanca como la luna, con ojos azules y limpios.
Ante ellos se presentó un día Pacarina, una muchacha de 15 años, flor de capullo y cuya piel era tersa.
Taita Imbabura y su esposa, para satisfacer los deseos de Pacarina, le transformaron en Ñusta del Maíz, y le ordenaron que cuando haya pasado el solsticio fuera a los cuatro puntos cardinales de la comarca y cosechara diez mazorcas de las cuatro clases de maiz: en el norte maíz dorado y duro.

 INTRODUCTION.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In all this we may discern the popular religion of the Andean people, which consisted in the belief that all things in nature had an ideal or soul which ruled and guided them, and to which men might pray for
This worship of nature was combined with the worship of ancestors; the nature gods being called huaca, and the ancestral deities pacarina or pacarisca.
The universal tradition pointed to a place called Paccari-tampu, as the cradle or point of origin of the Yncas.

 Interactive Dig Tiwanaku - Q&A
Tiwanaku, however, does occupy a special place among these sites, because it is was singled out in some Inka creation stories as the place where Viracocha created the first couples of the Andean peoples before he sent them forth to their homelands across the Andes.
According to this myth, recorded by early Spanish chroniclers, Tiwanaku is the origin place or pacarina of all Andean ethnic groups.
This would have been important for the Inka, because a group's identity was often tied to physical spaces like caves and mountains, associated with their origins and mythic histories.

 Astronomical links tying Polynesia to America
Likewise the doctrine of the "pacarina," or place of 'dawning', whence emerged each tribal lineage waka, established the right of each ethnic group to its tribal land.
"The deed of possession of tribal lands was sealed by each group's reference to its particular place of emergence - the cave, fountains, and so on - called 'pacarina,' literally "place of dawning." The very diversity of the tribes was thus portrayed as springing from an underlying principle of unity." (Sullivan, p.24)
I believe that the Samoan word "aiga" (family) is related to the "pacarina" of the Incas.
