Huichol (English spelling)

Japanese: ウイチョル(英語表記)Huichol
Huichol (English spelling)
Indigenous people of Uto-Aztec descent who live in the central-western Mexican states of Nayaris and Jalisco. They have a population of about 20,000, of whom 65% also speak Spanish. They form numerous household clusters called rancherias in the dry mountainous areas, and use slash-and-burn agriculture to cultivate corn, pumpkins, tobacco, and other crops, as well as produce milk and cheese. Hunting and gathering also play a secondary role. There is a strong fusion of indigenous religions from before the Spanish conquest with Christianity, and Catholic saints are identified with over 100 indigenous gods who are responsible for rain, health, material prosperity, and other things.

メキシコ中西部ナヤリ州とハリスコ州に住むウト・アステカ語系の原住民。人口は約2万で,その65%がスペイン語を併用する。乾燥した山岳地にランチェリアという世帯集合を多数形成し,トウモロコシ,カボチャ,タバコなどを焼畑農法で栽培するほか,牛乳・チーズを食用にする。狩猟・採集もその補助的重要性を失っていない。スペイン人による征服以前の土着的宗教とキリスト教の融合が色濃く見られ,カトリックの諸聖人は,それぞれ雨・健康・物質的繁栄などをつかさどる100を超える土着の神々と同一視されている。
