Native people of North and South America. Anthropologically, it refers to all ethnic groups excluding the Eskimo and Aleut, but in general it may include them. In Japan, it is common to call the native people of North America American Indians and the native people of Central and South America Indios. The term Indios comes from the fact that when Columbus discovered the New World, he believed it to be the Indies and wrote Indios in his report to the King of Spain. They are also called Amerindians or Amerinds. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
南・北両アメリカの原住民。人類学上はエスキモーとアレウト族を除く諸民族のことをいうが,一般には含める場合もある。そのなかで,北アメリカの原住民をアメリカ・インディアン,中南米の原住民をインディオと呼ぶのが日本では普通である。インディオという呼称は,新大陸を発見したコロンブスが,そこをインディアスと信じ,スペイン国王への報告書に原住民のことをインディオと書いたことに由来する。別称として〈アメリンディアンAmerindian〉〈アメリンドAmerind〉ともいう。
