J'ignore si cette référence pourra ê...Bonsoir,<br /><br />J'ignore si cette référence pourra être utile. Je suis tombé dessus par hasard en cherchant des ouvrages sur l'Inde et j'ai eu le souvenir d'avoir lu un article à ce sujet (celui-là même sous lequel je pose ce commentaire). Il s'agit de l'ouvrage de Arthur John FYNN "The American Indian as a product of environment : with special reference to the pueblos" (1907). Le livre est disponible en version numérique sur Open Library. Notamment aux pages 87-88, dans un chapitre intitulé "Food and clothing" on peut lire :<br /><br />"The sustenance of the American aborigines has been whatever the various localities afforded. The variety is suggested by foods such as seals, whales, oysters, clams, salmons, [de nombreux autres exemples], water-rice, [d'autres suivent]. These are but samplesof the predominating foods found in the many diversified régions extending from Point Barrow to Cap Horn. [...]. There is also great variety in the manner of preparation - or lack of preparation - from raw meats, rotten fish, and obnoxious insects to well-roasted corn and thoroughly coocked calabashes.<br />It may be said in general that the tribes east of the Mississippi River obtained sustence by agriculture rather than by hunting ; though the predominance of one or t other of these occupations throughout this vast area was largely dertermined by locality.<br />On the banks of the St. Lawrence, from source to mouth, the thinly scattered occupants were preeminantly hunters. The seasons were too short for extensive agriculture, and game was rather plentiful.<br />On the shore of the Great Lakes, fishing was an extensive primitiv industry. For a considerable distance out on those immense sheets of water, canoes could pass with ease and safety ; and, upon the lands reaching for hundreds of miles in every direction away from this group of inland seas, were scattered thousands and thousands of small lakes and ponds, each teeming with wholesome fish, which, with those in the adjacent rivers and streams, added largely to the food supply of the great Algonkin tribes of that extensive region."<br /><br />Egalement, page 93 (même chapitre) :<br /><br />"For instance, on territory reaching from the Kennebec Rivers southward for several hundred miles, keeping rather closely to the shore, the population exhibited a far higher order of culture than the tribes mentioned above. The difference in living between the two sections was particulary noticeable. These more southern aborigines cared on a comparatively extensive agriculture. Indian corn was evidently the staple ; and, as an aid to the production of crops, the quasi-farmers were accustumed to place a fish in each corn-hill as a fertilizer."<br /><br />Je n'ai pas parcouru l'ouvrage dans sa totalité, mais il ne m'a pas l'air dépourvu d'intérêt. Fassent ces cours passages t'y intéresser.<br /><br />Tangui<br />Tangui Przybylowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17799841310225872424noreply@blogger.com
