Ona tribe - Onazoku (English spelling)

Japanese: オナ族 - オナぞく(英語表記)Ona
Ona tribe - Onazoku (English spelling)
A minority group of Latin American Indians living on Tierra del Fuego, at the southern tip of South America. Originally they hunted, and their staple diet was the meat of a camelid called the guanaco. They also ate horses, shellfish, strawberries, and mushrooms. Although the climate was cold, they rarely built houses, and usually slept using animal skins as windbreaks. They made simple tools such as bows and arrows, harpoons, slings, and baskets. They organized into patrilineal bands of 40 to 120 people, each of which occupied a certain area and fought vigorously against invaders. Their religion was based on fear of evil spirits and belief in a single supreme god.

南アメリカの南端,フエゴ島に住むラテンアメリカインディアンの少数民族。もともと狩猟を営み,ラクダ科のグアナコと呼ばれる動物の肉を主食とし,そのほか,ウマ,貝類,イチゴ,キノコなども食料とした。気候は寒いが家屋を建てるという例はほとんどなく,普通は獣皮を風よけにして寝た。弓矢,銛,投石器,籠など簡単な道具をつくっていた。彼らは 40~120人の父系バンドを組織し,各バンドは一定地域を占拠して,侵害者に対しては強靭に戦った。悪霊に対する恐れと唯一の最高神に対する信仰を基盤とする宗教をもっていた。
