  • Die Spokane oder Spokan sind ein nordamerikanischer Indianerstamm der Salish-Sprachfamilie. Ihre traditionelle Heimat lag ursprünglich im im Flussgebiet des gleichnamigen Spokane Rivers und dessen Nebenflüssen und erstreckte sich im Süden bis zum Oberlauf des Palouse River und im Westen bis zum Columbia River, die Spokane Falls (Stluputqu – „schnelles Wasser“) waren ein wichtiger traditioneller Versammlungsplatz sowie Handelsplatz für benachbarte Stämme – somit umfasste das Gebiet (ca. 12.000 km²) weite Teile des Nordostens im heutigen US-Bundesstaat Washington und des angrenzenden Nordwestens Idahos. Sie gehörten sprachlich wie die benachbarten Flathead (Séliš oder Salish), Lower Kalispel (Lower Pend d’Oreille), Upper Kalispel (Upper Pend d’Oreille) und Coeur d’Alene (Schitsu’umsh oder Skitswish) zu den Südlichen Binnen-Salish die sich, anders als die Küsten-Salish, den häufig trockeneren und gebirgigen Landschaften der Hochebenen des Columbia River anpassen mussten und zählte somit kulturell zum Kulturareal des Plateau.

  • The Spokan or Spokane people are a Native American Plateau tribe who inhabit the eastern portion of present-day Washington state and parts of northern Idaho in the United States of America. The current Spokane Indian Reservation is located in northeastern Washington state, centered at Wellpinit (Sčecuwe). The reservation is located almost entirely in Stevens County, but also includes two small parcels of land (totaling about 1.52 acres [0.62 ha]) in Lincoln County, including part of the Spokane River. In total, the reservation is about 615 square kilometres (237 sq mi). The city of Spokane, Washington (Sʎˈetkʷ) is named after the tribe. It developed along the Spokane River, within the historic ancestral land of the tribe, but not within the reservation (see map). The Spokane language (Npoqínišcn) belongs to the Interior Salishan language family, being a dialect of Montana Salish. Therefore they are close kin both by language and culture to the neighboring Bitterroot Salish (Flathead) (Tˈatˈʔayaqn) and Pend d'Oreilles. They were in loose alliance with other Plateau tribes - and sometimes the Kutenai (Sqlˈse), Crow Nation (Stemčiʔ) and Cree-Assiniboine (Iron Confederacy) (Ncoʕʷaqs) joined in - against their common enemy (Sˈmen), the mighty Blackfoot Confederacy (Sčqˈʷišni) and later Lakota people (Hułnʔixʷtˈusm) on the east. The precontact population of the Spokane people is estimated to be about 1,400 to 2,500 people. The populations of the tribe began to diminish after contact with settlers and traders due to mortality from new infectious diseases endemic among the Europeans, and to which the Spokane had no acquired immunity. By 1829 a Hudson Bay Company trader estimated there were about 700 Spokane people in the area. Since the early 20th century, their population has been steadily increasing: in 1985 tribal enrolled membership was reported as 1,961. In 2000 the US census reported the resident population of the reservation to be around 2,000 people. (en)
  • Gli Spokane sono un popolo di nativi americani che abitava la parte orientale dello stato di Washington e parte del nord dell'Idaho negli Stati Uniti d'America. L'attuale riserva indiana degli Spokane si trova nel nord-est dello stato di Washington, a Wellpinit. La riserva si trova quasi interamente nella contea di Stevens, ma comprende anche due piccole zone (per un totale di circa 0,62 ettari nella contea di Lincoln, compresa la parte del fiume Spokane. La superficie locale è di circa 615 km2. La città di Spokane ha preso il nome dall'omonimo popolo e si trova all'interno della terra ancestrale della tribù, ma non all'interno della riserva. La appartiene alle . La popolazione pre colonizzazione del popolo Spokane è stimata in circa 1.400 - 2.500 persone. Le popolazioni della tribù iniziarono a perdere numero dopo il contatto con coloni e commercianti a causa di malattie a cui il popolo Spokane non era mai stato esposto in precedenza. Così, nel 1829, un commerciante della Baia di Hudson stimò che c'erano circa 700 Spokane nell'area. Oggi la popolazione è in costante aumento e l'appartenenza tribale nel 1985 era di circa 1.961 e nel censimento del 2000 risultò che la popolazione residente della riserva era di circa 2.000 persone.

  • Спокан — индейский народ, традиционно проживавший в северо-восточной части современного штата Вашингтон, США. Индейская резервация Спокан располагается в восточном Вашингтоне, почти полностью на территории округа Стивенс за исключением небольшой части в округе Линкольн. По имени племени был назван город Спокан в штате Вашингтон. По данным Льюиса и Кларка, в середине XIX века представители племени проживали вблизи реки Спокан, их численность составляла около 600 человек. По данным переписи 2000 года население резервации составляет 2004 человека, которые проживают на территории площадью 615,168 км². Язык спокан принадлежит к салишской языковой семье. (ru)
  • Спокан — американський народ, що проживає в північно-західній частині США (штат Вашингтон). Більшість споканів мешкає в резервації з тією ж назвою, що знаходиться в східній частині штату Вашингтон. Плем'я спокан дало назву місту Спокан (штат Вашингтон), а також річці Спокан. В перекладі на українську мову, спокан означає «діти сонця» або «сонячні люди». Наприкінці XIX століття плем'я спокан підписало низку угод з федеральним урядом, згідно з якими у 1881 році була утворена резервація Спокан з правом самоврядування загальною площею 615 км² (порівняйте з площею міста Одеса (162 км²). За словами американських дослідників Льюїса і Кларка, на початку 19-го століття плем'я спокан налічувало близько 600 осіб. Згідно з переписом від 2000 року на території резервації Спокан мешкає 2004 особи. Спокани разом з іншими індіанськими племенами США користуються значними податковими пільгами, що стало головною причиною створення цілої мережі казино на індіанських землях. На території резервації Спокан розташовані два казино й заплановане спорудження третього. Незважаючи на високі прибутки від ігрового бізнесу, діючого на індіанських землях (26,5 млрд доларів) близько третини індіанців США звітують, що вони живуть у злиднях. (uk)

  • The Creator, Amotkan made light only after all the animals had congregated to create it for Woodpecker up it, but the pole was too hot for him. They next sent Coyote up the pole. But he was too noisy, all the time shouting down to his children. Bear volunteered, but he found it too cold atop the pole. The sound of thunder shattered their efforts then. It loosened a piece of red rock, which turned into a handsome red man. He wanted a brother, so Amotkan gave him one made from the root of an herb called spowaunch. The two brothers went to a lodge occupied by a witch, Lady Bullfrog. She became so enamored of the brother formed of the root that she leaped onto his face—and stuck there. In pulling loose, she tore out one of his eyes. He then volunteered to ascend into the sky to be light for the earth, for he did not want people to see his face, now missing one eye. Thus, he became the sun, and when people looked at him, they had to close one of their own eyes. The other man joined his lonely brother in the sky. But before he did so, Lady Bullfrog had jumped onto his face, too. He became the moon. Today, if one looks carefully at the moon, one can see Lady Bullfrog clinging to his face. Because he was lonesome, Coyote, after several failures, made Spokane man… Coyote then mixed all these elements together [pitch, clay, hot rock, and reeds] and—adding berries, smoke, and fire—created the Spokane man. With these same elements, he created Spokane woman, and Amotkan, the Creator, gave her life. Man and woman soon became wild, caring little for the safety of the others who had sprung from them. A flood came then and covered the land, destroying all except a few people. The survivors banded together for safety, elected a leader, and multiplied. In time, the leader divided the people into small groups. They became the various tribes. (en)
