Travois (English spelling)

Japanese: トラボア(英語表記)travois
Travois (English spelling)
A sled-like means of transport used by the Indians of the Great Plains of North America. Usually two poles were tied to either side of a dog, while the other end was dragged along the ground, with a platform or net attached to the middle of the poles to hold the goods. After the introduction of horses with the Spanish, they were used instead of dogs to carry larger loads. Special short poles called trabois were made for dogs to pull, but the poles of a tepee (conical tent) were usually used for the horses.

北アメリカ,大平原地方のインディアンの間で使用されていたそりに似た輸送手段。ふつう2本の棒の一端をイヌの両側に結びつけ,他端は地面を引きずるようにし,棒の中ほどにつけた台か網に荷物を入れた。スペイン人の渡来とともにウマが導入されてからは,イヌに代わってウマが使用され,より多くの荷物が運ばれた。イヌに引かせるためには専用の短い棒のトラボアが作られたが,ウマに用いるのはティピ(円錐形のテント)の柱を使うのがふつうであった。
