Rupert's Land

Japanese: ルパーツ・ランド(英語表記)Rupert’s Land
Rupert's Land
The general term for the area in the northern half of North America that was the property of the Hudson's Bay Company from 1670 to 1869. Named after the first Governor of the Company, Lord Rupert, it was never surveyed, but is said to have included the Ungava region, the Red River basin, the coast of Hudson Bay, and the South and North Saskatchewan river basins. The Hudson's Bay Company was given a monopoly on trade in this territory, but with the establishment of the Dominion of Canada in 1867, negotiations began and the territory was handed over peacefully between the company and the Canadian government, but the inhabitants of the Red River Colony launched a resistance movement.

Japanese:
1670年から1869年まで,北アメリカ大陸北半でハドソン湾会社の所領とされていた地域の総称。初代会社総督ルパート公にちなむ命名で,一度も測量は行われなかったが,アンガバ地方,レッド・リバー流域,ハドソン湾岸,南・北サスカチェワン川流域を含んでいたとされる。ハドソン湾会社にはこの領域における通商の独占権が与えられたが,1867年カナダ自治領の成立とともに交渉が開始され,会社とカナダ政府の間では平和裏に領土委譲が行われたが,レッド・リバー植民地の住民は抵抗運動を起こした。
