佩科特人
佩科特人（英语：Pequot，/ˈpiːkwɒt/）[2]是康涅狄格州的美洲原住民。现代佩科特人是联邦承认的马尚图克特佩科特部落、康涅狄格州其他四个获国家承认的集团和威斯康星州布拉泽敦印第安人的成员。[3]他们在历史上使用佩科特语，莫西干-佩科特语的方言之一，在20世纪初期已经消亡，尽管有一些正在开展的复兴努力。

佩科特人和莫西干人（英语：Mohegan）以前是同一集团，但在17世纪，正当佩科特人在康涅狄格州控制更多地盘，莫西干人分离了。与新英格兰殖民地之间憋着的紧张局势导致了1634年-1638年佩科特战争，大大削减了佩科特人的人口和影响力；许多成员被杀害、奴役、或者流散。少数佩科特人仍然留在康涅狄格州，分别于1666年和1683年在马尚图克特和波卡塔克河获得保护区；其余的人就与其他部落居住在其他区域。18世纪，一些佩科特基督徒加入了其他几个团体的成员，形成布拉泽敦印第安人。他们在19世纪迁往纽约州西部并在后来迁往威斯康星州。[4]
马尚图克特佩科特部落成立于1975年，并于1983年得到了联邦承认以解决土地声索。1986年，他们建立了福克斯伍兹赌场度假村，美国最成功的美洲原住民赌场之一。[5]波卡塔克河佩科特人形成了东佩科特部落国，这获康涅狄格州承认但不获联邦承认。除此之外，佩科特人的后裔加入了联邦政府认可的，康涅狄格州的莫西干部落、萨蒂福克部落国和金山Paugussett印第安国，以及在威斯康星州获有限度承认的布拉泽敦印第安人。[3]
历史 编辑
词源 编辑
“佩科特”是一个阿尔冈昆语词语，语言专家对其含义存在争议。相当多的学者支持佩科特人的论述，说这个名字来自“Pequttôog”，意思是“破坏者”或“沼泽之人”。弗兰克·斯佩克是二十世纪早期领先的莫西干-佩科特语专家，而他认为另一个词更合理，指“浅水”，因为已知佩科特领土是沿着长岛海湾海岸线的。[6][7]
一众历史学家在争论佩科特人是否在大约公元1500年从上哈德逊河谷迁向康涅狄格的中部和东部。佩科特人迁到康乃狄克河谷的理论可以追溯到威廉·哈伯德大人（William Hubbard），他于1677年声称佩科特人在普利茅斯殖民地建立之前，已经入侵了该区域一段时间，而不是起源于该区域。在菲利普国王战争之后，哈伯德在他的著作《Narrative of the Troubles with the Indians in New-England》详述其中一些新英格兰的部落对英格兰人作出残暴的反应。哈伯德所描述的佩科特人为当地的“外来者”；不是从另一个海岸来的侵略者，而是“来自内陆”的人“用武力夺得邻海一个适意的地方，并成为他们所有邻居的恶梦。”[8]
许多现有的考古、语言学和书面证据可以表明，佩科特人不是康涅狄格河谷的侵略者，而是居住了当地数千年的原住民。[9] 到了普利茅斯和马萨诸塞湾殖民地创立，佩科特人已经在康涅狄格州中部和东部得到了政治上、军事上和经济上的主导地位。他们占领了在康涅狄格州奈安蒂克河的奈安蒂克部落和在罗德岛州西部的纳拉甘西特族之间的沿海地区。有大概16 000佩科特人在新英格兰南部人口最稠密的居住区。[1]
1616年-1619年间的天花疫情害死了许多新英格兰东岸的印第安人，但它未能蔓延至佩科特、奈安蒂克和纳拉甘西特部落。1633年，荷兰在哈特福设立了一个贸易站称为好望屋（the House of Good Hope）。他们因违反协议而处决了佩科特人的首领（sachem）Tatobem。佩科特人支付荷兰大笔赎金之后，荷兰人交回Tatobem的遗体。他的继任人是Sassacus。1633年，疫情毁了当地所有部落，而历史学家估计佩科特人丧失了80%的人口。在佩科特战争爆发时，幸存的佩科特人可能只剩下大约3 000人。[10]
佩科特战争 编辑
1636年，佩科特部落有成员杀害了康涅狄格殖民地的居民，于是引发了战争。莫西干人和纳拉甘西特部落加入殖民者一方。大约1500佩科特战士阵亡或被追杀，其他人则被捕，并被分发为奴隶或家庭佣人。一些人逃到长岛并加入了当地的莫霍克人和奈安蒂克部落。最后，一些人返回到他们的传统土地，与留下来的友善佩科特家庭同聚。至于沦为奴隶的人，大多数赠给了盟军的部落，但被卖去百慕大的也有不少。[11][12]莫西干人极其残忍地处理他们的佩科特俘虏，以致康涅狄格殖民地的官员最终要带走他们。1683年，康涅狄格州为佩科特人建立了两个保护区：在康涅狄格州北斯托宁顿的东佩科特保护区，以及在莱德亚德的西佩科特（或马尚图克特佩科特保护区）。
现代历史 编辑
1910年的人口普查显示佩科特人的人口只有66，[13] 而他们在几十年后达到最低数字。佩科特的人数在1970年代和1980年代增长显着，尤其是马尚图克特佩科特部落，它当时开放了一个赌场，部落主席理查德·海沃德鼓励了族人返回自己部族的家园。他曾在争取部落的联邦承认和经济发展。[14]
1976年，佩科特人在美州原住民权利基金会（NARF）和印第安权利协会的协助下提出诉讼，针对北斯托宁顿的地主和居民以获得他们的土地，佩科特人声称当地于1856年被康涅狄格州非法出售。提出诉讼之后七年佩科特人和他们达成和解。康涅狄格州立法机构通过了申请联邦政府给予马尚图克特佩科特人部落承认的法案，而《马尚图克特佩科特印第安人的土地索求解决法案》获得国会颁布，并于1983年10月18日由总统罗纳德·里根签署。[15]这法案对授予马尚图克特佩科特人部落联邦承认，使他们能买回在解决法案里的土地，并让这些土地在印第安事务局（BIA）的托管下作保护区用途。[16]1986年，他们开了一家博彩机构，然后于1992年开始福克斯伍兹赌场度假村（Foxwoods Resort Casino）的第一阶段。赌场的收入支持了文化博物馆的开发和兴建，并于1998年8月11日在马尚图克特佩科特保护区开幕，当地有许多部落成员继续生活。
东佩科特部落国于2002年获得承认。自1930年代以来，这两个佩科特部落已经有严重紧张的种族问题，有人认为深色皮肤的后代不应被视为完全佩科特人。两个东佩科特部落提出申请去寻求BIA的承认，他们同意团结起来以获得承认。国家立即挑战这决定，而内政部在2005年撤销了对他们的承认。同年，它撤消了萨蒂福克人部落在2004年获得的承认。康涅狄格州政府和议会的代表团反对了BIA的承认，因为当地居民们担心新承认的部落会建立赌场。
地理 编辑
有1130成员的东佩科特部落国有一个保护区称为“灯笼山”（Lantern Hill）。东佩科特部落国获康乃狄克州承认。
有超过800人的马尚图克特佩科特部落或西佩科特在1983年获得了联邦承认，并有一个保护区在莱德亚德。
几乎所有识别为佩科特人的人居住在上述两个命名的社区。他们是多种族，但确认为佩科特人。没有部落成员是完全纯种的佩科特人。
语言 编辑
历史上，佩科特人讲莫西干-佩科特语的其中一种方言、一种东阿冈昆语支语言。1637年佩科特战争以后缔结了《哈特福德条约》，当时殖民者列明讲佩科特语是罪行。一代之内，该语言大程度上已经灭绝。东佩科特部落国里的佩科特人和马尚图克特佩科特人用的是英语。
在21世纪，马尚图克特佩科特人仔细分析包含佩科特语的历史文件和比较现存密切相关的语言，正在积极努力地恢复该语言。迄今为止，他们已恢复超过1000个词，虽然这对于实用语言所需的来说只是很小部分。马尚图克特佩科特人在马斯比万帕诺亚格人的帮助下已经开始提供语言课程 。万帕诺亚格人最近发起了“Wôpanâak语言开垦项目” （（页面存档备份，存于互联网档案馆））。参与着该项目的新英格兰南部印第安社区包括马斯比万帕诺亚格、Aquinnah万帕诺亚格、鲱鱼池万帕诺亚格，以及马尚图克特佩科特人。
