[109] The holding of slaves by the Indians continued long after colonial times. It naturally died out first in the east, with the growth in power of the whites and the consequent decrease in the numbers and strength of the Indians.

Индейцы региона реки Колумбия держали рабов вплоть до второй половины девятнадцатого века. Они добывали их, выменивая бусины и меха у внутренних племен. «Повествование» Франшэра в кн.: Туэйтс, «Ранние западные путешествия», т. vi, с. 324; т. xxix, с. 242; т. xxx, с. 111. Черноногие, каюсы, вороны и уте имели обыкновение оставлять захваченных на войне женщин в качестве рабов (там же, т. xxiii, с. 118); то же делали и другие соседние племена. Путешественники в Орегоне в 1846 году обнаружили, что орегонские индейцы обращают в рабство своих военных пленников и ведут войны с целью захвата рабов (там же, т. xxix, с. 124). Тунглетаты, населявшие Ванкувер, в то же время имели индейских рабов — пленников, захваченных на войне (там же, т. xxix, с. 149). Племена области к югу от региона реки Колумбия были преданы тому же обычаю. Как здесь, так и в регионе реки Колумбия индейцы были заядлыми игроками и нередко ставили на кон в азартных играх собственную свободу (там же, т. xxx, с. 161; т. xxvii, с. 171; Паркер, «Путешествие за Скалистые горы», с. 53). Индейцы крайнего северо-запада держали рабов еще в 1840 году. Значительное их количество принадлежало вождям. Они стоили по тридцать одеял каждый и обычно приобретались у уроженцев острова Куин-Шарлотт, крупного невольничьего рынка северо-западного побережья (Банкрофт, «История Северо-Западного побережья», т. ii, с. 647–649).

С рабоями региона реки Колумбия обращались хорошо до тех пор, пока они были способны работать. Этот район был торговым, и рабы как предмет торговли представляли ценность. Но когда раб старел и не мог работать, им пренебрегали. Женщины племени имели нескольких рабов, которые зависели исключительно от их воли. Рабы могли быть куплены мужской частью племени в качестве жен. Индейцы оакинаке в то время имели лишь немного рабов, и те были усыновлены как дети и члены семьи (там же, т. vii, с. 103, 107, 303).

До 1850 года индейцы томпсон из Британской Колумбии обращали захваченных индейцев в рабство (Тейт, «Индейцы томпсон из Британской Колумбии», в сборнике: «Мемуары Американского музея естественной истории», с. 269, 290). В 1836 году индейцы чинук владели индейскими рабами. В 1855 году племя уте принесло в жертву четырех рабов и похоронило их вместе с одним из своих вождей. Один из этих рабов был похоронен заживо (Томас, «Индейцы Северной Америки в исторические времена», с. 369). В 1863 году чероки отменили рабство законом. В 1866 году в него были внесены поправки, разрешающие его в качестве наказания за преступление (Туэйтс, «Ранние западные путешествия», т. xx, с. 303).

[110] Enslavement of the whites by the Indians was not uncommon. Cabeza de Vaca and other survivors of Narvaez’s expedition were made slaves by the Indians among whom they wandered. Narrative of Cabeza de Vaca, in Narratives of Early American History, i, pp. 64, 69. Soto found one of these survivors, Juan Ortiz by name, who had taken on Indian customs, and nearly forgotten his native language. “Relation of Biedma,” in Bourne, Narratives of the Career of De Soto, ii, p. 3.

Стрэчи в «Истории путешествия в Виргинию» упоминает историю, которую он слышал от индейцев, об индейском вожде по имени Эяноко, жившем где-то к югу от Виргинии, у которого было семеро белых рабов, спасшихся от резни в Роаноке. Этих рабов индейцы использовали для ковки меди («Публикации Хаклюйтовского общества», т. vi, с. 26). Правдива ли эта история полностью или частично, так и не было установлено. То, что индейцы этой местности действительно обращали в рабство белых, захваченных в войне или потерпевших кораблекрушение у побережья, следует из преамбулы к акту Каролины 1707 года («Колониальные записи Северной Каролины», т. i, с. 674). В войне 1711 года индейцы пощадили некоторых женщин и детей, захваченных на плантациях, чтобы те могли служить рабами (там же, т. i, с. 182).

Капитан Хендриксен в 1616 году обнаружил трех человек, принадлежавших Голландской Вест-Индской компании, которые были рабами мохоков и минкуэ и были переданы ему в обмен на товары (Хэзард, «Анналы Пенсильвании», с. 7).

Отец Брессани был захвачен в 1644 году ирокезами и отдан женщине в качестве раба. Она отправила его в форт Оранж, где он был выкуплен голландцами и возвращен во Францию («Отношения иезуитов», т. xxvi, с. 49). Другие иезуиты также были порабощены ирокезами (Басквиль де ла Потери, «История Северной Америки», т. iv, с. 125–163). Французские мужчины, женщины и дети постигла та же участь («Отношения иезуитов», т. xl, с. 137; т. xlvi, с. 207). Некоторые из них были выкуплены и освобождены голландцами (Маргри, «Указ. соч.», т. vi, с. 123, 125). Жутель в 1687 году опасался, что будет порабощен сенисами и отправлен на их рудники работать наряду с их индейскими рабами (Маргри, «Указ. соч.», т. iii, с. 339). После смерти Ла Саля и резни большинства его последователей в 1687 году пощаженные дети были захвачены в плен испанскими индейцами и отправлены в Мексику в качестве рабов (Маргри, «Указ. соч.», т. iii, с. 339). Сен-Дени в 1721 году засвидетельствовал, что одиннадцать месяцев провел в рабстве у дикарей западного региона Миссисипи (Робинсон, «Описание открытий на Западе» и др., с. 215). Еще в 1754 году у индейцев Виргинии были французские пленные в качестве рабов («Сборник Исторического общества Виргинии», т. iii, с. 267).

Во времена Войны короля Филипа миссис Роулендсон из Ланкастера была взята в плен индейцами и продана наррагансетскому вождю, чьей рабыней она стала (Кларк, «История короля Филипа», с. 290). Во время различных колониальных войн многие англичане захватывались индейцами в качестве рабов и продавались французам в Канаду («Архивы Массачусетса», т. lxxiv, с. 57).

[118] The proclamation of Ponce de Leon is quoted in Helps, The Conquerors of the New World and Their Bondsmen, etc., ii, pp. 111–116. This peculiar summons to surrender had been used by the Spanish explorers and conquerors since 1509. After telling the Indians of the creation of the world, it traced the title thereto to St. Peter, and thence to the ruling pope. It cited also the grant of the Indies by the pope to the sovereigns of Castile; and after urging the Indians to acknowledge their fealty to these sovereigns, it threatened them with war and slavery if they refused.

Хотя слово «пауни» в записях, по-видимому, относится именно к индейским рабам, старые канадские авторы иногда используют его для обозначения всех лиц в подневольном состоянии независимо от цвета кожи (Гамильтон, «Указ. соч.», в сборнике: «Труды Канадского института», 1890, т. i, с. 107).

It will be seen that these Indians were not considered as slaves by Champlain. They were to be educated and trained in religious duties for their own good, for that of the faith and the future good of the French. Yet they illustrate the readiness with which the Indians parted with members of their own tribe, as well as with those whom they held captive.

[274] Margry. op. cit., ii, p. 293. The only instance in which a home government demanded that Indians be sent to Europe to perform actual labor as slaves, exists in the case of the French. On July 31, 1684, Louis XIV ordered de la Barre to send all Iroquois prisoners to France to serve in the galleys, because, said the letters royal, “these savages are strong and robust.” Brodhead, History of New York, first edition, ii, p. 476. De la Barre made an expedition against the Iroquois, but was unsuccessful. In 1687, Denonville, the succeeding governor-general, led another expedition against the Iroquois who had been especially arrogant toward the French since the repulse of de la Barre. Before the expedition had set out from Fort Frontenac, another dispatch from the king had arrived. This repeated his former orders to send the Iroquois prisoners to France to serve in the galleys. Denonville obeyed the command. Brodhead, op. cit., ii, p. 507. The order was repeated March, 1688, declaring “It is certain that those Indians, who are vigorous and accustomed to hardship, can serve usefully on board his Majesty’s galleys,” Brodhead, op. cit., ii, p. 546. Continued difficulties with the Indians led Denonville, among other concessions and attempts at conciliation, to write to France, asking that as many of the Indian galley slaves as survived should be returned to Canada, and suggesting that, to produce as good an effect as possible, they be decently clothed. The request was complied with. Marshall, Historical Writings relating to the early History of the West, p. 159; De Brumath, Bishop Laval, pp. 214, 215, 216.

Интересный пример такого освобождения от рабства зафиксирован в Луизиане в 1770 году. 30 апреля того года синьор Пьер Клермон явился перед нотариусом Кабильдо и заявил, что у него долгое время находился на службе индеец Луизон из племени «сиу». Последний служил ему с такой привязанностью и усердием, что он пожелал вознаградить его и счел, что лучшим способом сделать это будет дарование ему свободы. Однако, поскольку он испытывал в этом индейце непреложную необходимость еще в течение трех лет и опасался, как бы смерть не помешала ему освободить его, он заявил о своем желании, чтобы через три года Луизон был отпущен на свободу и пользовался всеми правами свободы. Луизон, в свою очередь, заявил, что благодарит синьора Клермона и обещает верой и правдой служить ему три года. Он также согласился лишиться всех прав, предоставленных ему хозяином, если окажется неблагодарным по отношению к нему (Фортье, «Старые бумаги колониальных времен», в сборнике: «Публикации Исторического общества Луизианы», т. i, ч. ii, 1895, с. 17).

[319] In 1793, slavery was abolished in Upper Canada by act of the Provincial Parliament. In Lower Canada, it had practically ceased by 1800, the few remaining slaves being freed by an imperial act in 1834. Jesuit Relations, lxix, p. 301. The last public sale of a slave in Canada took place in Montreal in 1797. It has been held, however, that it was the proceeding of the Canadian courts, consistent with the rising public sentiment in England and France against slavery, rather than the actual state of the law, which reached the slave owners’ claims, and finally broke them.

В результате смешения негров и индейцев, которое произошло, когда прибрежные племена сократились численно, а немногие оставшиеся переселились вглубь страны, общались и вступали в браки с неграми, пока окончательно не утратили свою идентичность и не стали причисляться к этой расе, значительная доля крови южных негров несомненно является индейской (Девятнадцатый ежегодный отчет Бюро американской этнологии, 1897–1898, с. 233). Именно к этим метисам, а также к чистокровным индейцам относились статуты, используя термины «индейские рабы» и «мусти» (или «мести») рабы. В колониальных газетах изредка упоминаются рабы смешанного красно-черного происхождения («American Weekly Mercury», 24 октября 1734 г.). Выдвигалось даже мнение, что в некоторых колониях никогда не было чистокровных индейских рабов. Г-н У. Б. Мелиус из Олбани, штат Нью-Йорк, утверждает: «Я не верю, что чистокровный индеец продавался как раб (в Нью-Йорке); я считаю, что индеец, бывший рабом, не был свободен от примеси крови» (Бюллетень Библиотеки штата Нью-Йорк, История, № 4, май 1900 г.). Один пример смешения индейцев и негров в Нью-Йорке обнаруживается в жалобе, поданной в 1717 году, на то, что негры-рабы бежали и укрывались у минисинков, с женщинами которых они вступали в браки (там же, № 4, май 1900 г.).

[386] “In theory, at least, the Hollander considered the Indian a man like himself, with analogous rights to life, liberty and possessions.” Consequently, “Indians were not enslaved in New Netherland.” Van Rensselaer, History of the City of New York in the Seventeenth Century, i, p. 63. These statements are rather difficult to prove. Holding Indians as slaves who had been enslaved elsewhere and then brought into the colony, and making slaves in the colony and then sending them out of it, were practices that unquestionably existed, even if on a small scale. The declaration of the governor and council of New York in 1680 that “all Indians here have always been, and are, free, and not slave, except such as have been formerly brought from the Bay and Foreign Ports,” (Brodhead, History of the State of New York, first edition, ii, p. 331), shows the presence of some Indian slaves in the Dutch colony.

Записи Новых Нидерландов содержат свидетельства об освобождении от рабства в этой колонии рабов, именовавшихся испанцами и ночивших испанские имена. Являлись ли эти лица испанскими индейцами или неграми с испанских островов, в записях не уточняется. Один такой человек получил свободу в 1645 году путем уплаты 300 каролинских гульденов (О’Каллаган, «Каталог исторических рукописей в канцелярии государственного секретаря, Олбани, штат Нью-Йорк», ч. i, с. 45). Другой получил свободу в 1646 году в награду за долгую и верную службу (О’Каллаган, «Указ. соч.», ч. i, с. 105). Еще два человека, рабы на службе Компании, были освобождены в 1664 году (О’Каллаган, «Указ. соч.», ч. i, с. 264). Другие, принадлежавшие, предположительно, частным владельцам, получили свободу в том же году (О’Каллаган, «Указ. соч.», ч. i, с. 269).

Два случая порабощения индейцев в Новых Нидерландах заслуживают внимания, даже если упомянутые лица впоследствии были вывезены из колонии. Первый случай произошел в 1644 году в связи с индейскими волнениями того времени. По окончании трудностей часть индейских пленников была отправлена губернатором Кифтом на Бермудские острова «в подарок английскому губернатору». Другие были отданы «самым старым и опытным солдатам», которым в то время было разрешено отправиться в Голландию (Бродхед, «История штата Нью-Йорк», пересмотренное издание, т. i, с. 396; «Колониальные документы Нью-Йорка», т. i, с. 215; Ван Ренселер, «Указ. соч.», т. i, с. 235). Второй случай был связан с эзопусскими индейцами. 25 мая 1660 года на совете было принято решение выслать на Кюрасао всех, кроме двух или трех недавно захваченных эзопусских индейцев, «чтобы использовать их там или на Бонайре вместе с неграми на службе Компании» (Бродхед, «Указ. соч.», пересмотренное издание, т. i, с. 676; О’Каллаган, «Каталог исторических рукописей в канцелярии государственного секретаря в Олбани», ч. i, с. 295). 29 июня Стёйвесант издал приказ и организовал их переправу (О’Каллаган, «Указ. соч.», ч. i, с. 214). О’Каллаган в «Истории Новых Нидерландов» и др. (т. ii, с. 420) указывает число вывезенных как одиннадцать. Схунмейкер («История Кингстона», с. 16) называет цифру двадцать. Те, кто был оставлен в колонии в том случае, не были обращены в рабство, но подлежали наказанию, «какое будет сочтено целесообразным или какого потребует необходимость» (Схунмейкер, «Указ. соч.», с. 16). Отношения с ирокезами предотвращали какие-либо серьезные индейские войны в колонии, и из-за этих отношений поступок Стёйвесанта сочли крайне неблагоразумным. Свой шаг, который, возможно, был смоделирован по примеру действий англичан после Пекотской войны, он пытался оправдать заявлением, что «их освобождение имело бы тенденцию породить неприязнь к нашей нации. Наши соседи-варвары стали бы гордиться, словно они внушили нам ужас» (Схунмейкер, «Указ. соч.», с. 16). В 1661 году эти индейцы были отозваны из рабства (О’Каллаган, «Каталог исторических рукописей» и др., ч. i, с. 295).
