Tehuelche (English spelling)

Japanese: テウェルチェ(英語表記)Tehuelche
Tehuelche (English spelling)
A hunter-gathering people who lived in the Pampas and Patagonia of Argentina along with the Araucanos and Puelches. They first came into contact with white people during Magellan's circumnavigation of the world, but until the second half of the 19th century, the only activity in this region was through Jesuit missionary work. However, white settlement followed, and people were driven off their lands, causing a dramatic decline in their population, with only a small number remaining today. The Tehuelches once hunted camelids such as guanacos and rheas (American ostriches) using spears and bolas (projectiles made by swinging leather thongs tied to stones to throw them with centrifugal force).

アルゼンチンのパンパ,パタゴニアにアラウカノ,プエルチェとともに住んでいた狩猟民。マゼランの世界周航のときに初めて白人と接触したが,19世紀の後半に入るまでは,この地域ではイエズス会の宣教活動ぐらいしか行われていなかった。しかしその後,白人の入植が始まり,土地を追われ,人口は激減し,現在はごく少数が残っているだけである。かつてのテウェルチェは,槍と飛道具のボーラ(石に結んだ皮ひもを振り回して,遠心力で石を飛ばす)を使ってラクダ科のグアナコやレア(アメリカダチョウ)を狩猟した。
