  • Pocahontas's Two Rescues and Her Fluid Loyalty
    言語・地域文化研究 第 ₂6 号 2020 103 Pocahontas’s Two Rescues and Her Fluid Loyalty Hiroyuki Tsukada ポカホンタスの二つの助命と忠誠心の揺らぎ 塚田 浩幸 要 旨 ポカホンタスは、二度、ジョン・スミスの命を救った。一度目は有名な助命で、1607 年 12 月、インディアンの首長パウハタンによる処刑の寸前に、ポカホンタスが捕虜スミ スに自分の体をなげうって助命をした。これは、スミスの死と生まれ変わりを象徴的に 意味し、入植者をインディアンの世界に迎え入れる儀式で、ポカホンタスはスミスを救 うというあらかじめ決められた役割を担った。この一度目の助命の真偽については長ら く論争が行なわれてきたが、スミスが 1608 年 6 月の報告書簡でポカホンタスを「比類な き人物」と高く評価できたという事実は、助命が実際に起きたことを示している。その 6 月の時点で、スミスは助命の他に、取引や物資の提供と人質解放交渉の場面でポカホ ンタスと会う機会を持っていたが、それらの場面においては、スミスが「比類なき人物」 と評価することができるほどの行動をポカホンタスがとっていなかったからである。そ して、スミスがその報告書簡でポカホンタスを紹介したのは、入植事業の宣伝のために インディアンとの平和友好をアピールするねらいがあった。つまり、スミスに批判的な 研究者が主張するように、スミスがポカホンタスの人気にあやかって自分の名声をあげ るために助命を捏造したのではなく、助命に感銘を受けたスミスがポカホンタスの人気 を作り上げたといえるのである。 パウハタンは、一度目の助命でポカホンタスをインディアンと入植者の平和友好のシ ンボルとして仕立て上げ、その後の平和的な外交の場面にもポカホンタスを同行させて いた。しかしながら、二度目の助命は、パウハタンの外交方針に逆らって、ポカホンタ ス自身の意思によって行なわれた。1609 年 1 月、インディアンと入植者の関係が悪化す るなか、パウハタンがスミスを本当に襲おうとしているところをポカホンタスがスミス に密告して救った。この二つの助命のあいだの期間、ポカホンタスは入植者と頻繁に会 うなかで理解を深め、パウハタン連合のインディアンとしての忠誠心に揺らぎを生じさ せていたのである。つまり、ポカホンタスは、単なるパウハタンの遣いとしての平和友 好のシンボルであることをやめ、自らを平和友好の使者として確立させるに至ったので ある。 本稿の著作権は著者が保持し、クリエイティブ・コモンズ表示 4.0 国際ライセンス（CC-BY）下に提供します。 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.ja 104 論文 ポカホンタスの二つの助命と忠誠心の揺らぎ （塚田 浩幸） Table of contents 1.

  • Timucua Indians
    History of Fort Caroline The U.S. National Park Service (2012) Timucua Indians: "They be all naked and of goodly stature, mighty, faire and as well shapen…as any people in all the worlde, very gentill, curtious and of good nature… the men be of tawny color, hawke nosed and of a pleasant countenance…the women be well favored and modest…” French explorer Jean Ribault was impressed by the first native peoples he encountered in Florida. The Timucuans under Chief Saturiwa, who met the French at the mouth of the River of May in 1562, were one of a number of Timucua-speaking tribes who inhabited central and north Florida and southeastern Georgia. They were the final stage of a culture whose way of life had remained essentially unchanged for more than 1000 years. A Foothold in Florida: During the sixteenth century, France was determined to expand its empire. Spain, the world’s leading power, already had a foothold in the Americas, and France wanted a share of the riches the Spanish were gaining through trade and plunder. France’s first attempt to stake a permanent claim in North America was at La Caroline, a settlement near the mouth of the St. Johns River in Florida. At first, the settlement was to be a commercial venture, but religious conflict in France broadened the goals. The growing persecution of French Protestants (Huguenots) led their most powerful member, Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, to make a proposal to the crown: the colony could also be a refuge for Huguenots. An exploratory expedition, commanded by Jean Ribault, left France in February 1562.

Colonoware and Culture: The Changing Interpretation of 17th Century Ceramic Traditions in the South Eastern United States: An Overview of Current Thought and History Michael Chodoronek Abstract: Colonoware is a low fired pottery tradition concentrated in the southeastern United States. It has been associated with native populations, enslaved populations and low- income populations in the American colonies ofthe seventeenth through to the nineteenth century. This paper is concerned with the history, development and current conceptions of colonoware in the southeastern United States, namely Virginia and South Carolina coastal regions. This paper will look at the possible future use ofcolonoware as diagnostic material culture beyond its current state. Introduction The study of colonoware has, in the past, often been over looked in its importance.

  • French Meeting Timucua in Jacques Le Moyne De Morgues
    A Staged Encounter: French Meeting Timucua in Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues FRANK LESTRINGANT The rituals and ceremonials were not the decorative covering of the alliances; they were its sinews. —Richard White, The Middle Ground (1991) In 1591, a quarter of a century after the destruction of the French settlements in Florida by the Spanish adelantado Menéndez de Avilés in autumn of 1565, there appeared in Frankfurt the second volume of Théodore de Bry’s Great Voyages, the Brevis Narratio of Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues.1 It included an extraordinary series of forty-two copper-plates depicting the Timucua Native Americans2 engaged in a variety of everyday activities, both in peacetime and war. The space represented in these engravings is neither neutral nor objective. It is, rather, a “theater,” in the sense the word often held in the sixteenth century—that is, a kind of visualization device, but one with a bias. This compendium of texts and engravings places the iconography face-to-face with the texts it accompanies, and with which it maintains a complex relationship that cannot simply be reduced to an illustrative role. By 1591, however, this representation had already become anachronistic. Reviving colonial activities was no longer possible, since the territories were now occupied by Spain, and the French monarchy had in the meantime been torn apart by the Wars of Religion. If, indeed, such a revival were conceivable within the hierarchy of Europe, it could only be accomplished under the auspices of the Protestant powers, with England and Holland foremost among them. To be sure, De Bry’s editorial endeavor cannot be reduced to a geopolitical stratagem, though it certainly is that on some level.

  • Lawrence J. Fleenor, Jr. Copyright and All Rights Reserved March 2019
    PRESENTATION #1 OF A THREE PART SERIES ON THE ETHNIC SETTLEMENT OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA By: Lawrence J. Fleenor, Jr. Copyright and All Rights Reserved March 2019 Introduction to the Series In the Spring of 2019 I was asked to write and dictate a three part series on the three dominant ethnic settlement patterns of Southwest Virginia. They were presented in roughly 45 minute segments, and broadcast so as to be received on cell phones by participants who were in their cars travelling to attend a conference on economic development that was to occur at U. Va - Wise. Most will be driving down the Great Valley of Virginia on I-81, similarly to what our ancestors did. They can think about these historic events as they drive past the places connected with them. The process of ‘writing’ consisted primarily of pulling together material I had been composing and publishing for years. It occurred to me that the current compilation would be of general interest. Therefore, some of the earlier essays will be removed from my web site, and this more globally focused one substituted so that it can be read by the general public. First of all let me say that I am well aware that there were people here before the settlers from the Old World arrived. We all honor our Indian heritage, which is too multifaceted to be included here. I also acknowledge our Black heritage. I appreciate that 40% of the folks who travelled down the Wilderness Road, which is roughly I-81, were Black. For those people interested in Black history I recommend Alex Haley’s Roots, which I cannot equal.

  • Timucua Students Learn How Historical Resources Teach Us About the Timucua People and Their Technology
    CHHAPTERISTORY AND THETEN TIMUCUA STUDENTS LEARN HOW HISTORICAL RESOURCES TEACH US ABOUT THE TIMUCUA PEOPLE AND THEIR TECHNOLOGY. LET’S TALK ABOUT HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS In the unit titled “Theodore de Bry’s Timucua Engravings – Fact or Fiction?” we spent plenty of time analyzing the authenticity of his work. Other historical documents provide more reliable information about the Timucua. The earliest were the memoirs of French and Spanish explorers. French explorer, René Laudonnière (Low-don-YARE): He wrote an account of his experiences in Florida from 1562 – 1565. This account seems to have been written as an administrative report, to be read by King Charles IV or Admiral Coligny. Laudonnière never submitted it for general publication, though several other people had published their own memoirs. Because he was not publishing for profit, he had less reason to wildly embellish what he observed about the Timucua. When we read crazy things in his text – like the time he met a 250-year-old Timucua man whose own father was still alive – we can chalk that up to miscommunication or misunderstanding – not outright fabrication. It’s Laudonnière’s account that explains how the Timucua got their name. When Europeans asked the Timucua “what is the name of your people?” the Timucua responded with “we are us” or “this is our land.” Since they couldn’t call every native group, “we are us,” the French and Spanish usually referred to each village by the name of its leader. Headchief Saturiwa resided in the village Saturiwa. His enemy, Outina, lived near modern day Green Cove Springs, in a village named…you guessed it, Outina.
