Araucanian

Japanese: アラウカノ族 - アラウカノぞく(英語表記)Araucanian
Araucanian
A Latin American Indian tribe living in central Chile and parts of Argentina. They are divided into three regional groups: the Pikunche, the Mapuche, and the Huiliche. The Araucanos of Argentina are thought to have migrated from Chile across the Andes, and the relationship between the two groups remains to this day. They were once a nomadic people whose main occupations were gathering and hunting, but they shifted to corn farming under the influence of the Inca civilization. Although part of their territory was conquered by the Inca Empire, they resisted the invasion of the Spanish army for a long time from the 16th century onwards, and became known as an invincible people due to Ercilla y Zúñiga's poem "La Araucana."

チリ中央部とアルゼンチンの一部に住むラテンアメリカインディアンの一民族。ピクンチェ,マプチェ,ウィリチェの3つの地域集団に分類される。アルゼンチンのアラウカノ族はチリからアンデスを越えて移住したものと考えられており,両者の関係は今日でも保たれている。かつては採集と狩猟を主要生業とする移動民であったが,インカ文明の影響を受けてトウモロコシ農耕の生活に移っていった。インカ帝国にその一部を征服されたが,16世紀以降のスペイン軍の侵略に対しては長期にわたって抵抗し,エルシリャ・イ・スニガの詩『ラ・アラウカナ』により不敗の民族として知られるようになった。
