Шаблон:Italic title Шаблон:Lang (or Genizaros) was the name for detribalized Native Americans (Indians) from the 17th to 19th century in the Spanish colony of New Mexico and neighboring regions of the American southwest. Genízaros were usually women and children who had been captured in war by the Spanish or purchased from Indian tribes who had held them captive as slaves. To circumvent Spanish laws forbidding slavery, the purchaser (or rescuer) of a genízaro had the obligation to introduce them to Christianity and Spanish customs. Genízaros worked as indentured servants, shepherds, and laborers. They occupied the lowest rung of status-conscious Spanish society in New Mexico but slowly assimilated and intermarried into Spanish and later Mexican (1821-1846) and American (1846-present day) society. The descendants of genízaros are also called genízaros and the word has become a term of pride for the descendants of the original Indian captives and slaves.[1][2]Шаблон:Sfnp[3] In 1793, genízaros are estimated to have comprised up to one third of the 29,041 people living under Spanish rule in New Mexico.Шаблон:Sfnp[4]

New Spain had a prohibition of indigenous slavery implemented from 1543 onwards, but it excluded those captured in the context of war.[3] The restrictions of slavery also meant that Шаблон:Lang were to be convicted and sentenced to servitude for a specific timespan, at which time they earned freedom. They were even encouraged to become landowners themselves by Spanish government landgrants, or to join the regional militia.[5] After abolition of slavery was proposed in 1810 during Mexican independence,[6] the practice of slavery began to become unpopular in the Spanish Empire, even more so after abolition was included officially by José María Morelos in the Sentimientos de la Nación of 1813. This became law after Solemn Act of the Declaration of Independence of Northern America of First Mexican Republic and during the era of the centralist Republic. Шаблон:Lang joined other citizen-soldiers of New Mexico during the Chimayó Rebellion of 1837, to fight for New Mexico's separation from the centralist Republic of Mexico; In fact, the commander of the rebellion José Gonzales was a Шаблон:Lang.[7]

Шаблон:Lang settled in several New Mexican villages, such as Belén, Tomé, Valencia, Carnuel, Los Lentes, Las Trampas, Socorro, and San Miguel del Vado. Шаблон:Lang also lived in Albuquerque, Bernalillo, Atrisco, Santa Fe, Chimayó, Taos, Abiquiú, and Las Vegas, NM. Most Шаблон:Lang were, or their ancestors had been, slaves of Indian tribes, particularly the Plains tribes who raided and enslaved members of tribes allied with the Spaniards, such as the Apaches.Шаблон:Sfnp

In 2007, Шаблон:Lang and their contemporary descendants were recognized as indigenous people by the New Mexico Legislature.[8][9] During the early 21st century, they have comprised much of the population of the South Valley of Albuquerque, and significant portions of the population of northern New Mexico, including Española, Taos, Santa Fe, Las Vegas, in addition to that of southern Colorado.

Name

The term Шаблон:Lang is a Spanish word borrowed from the Italian word Шаблон:Lang, which was adopted from the Ottoman Turkish word Шаблон:Lang.[10] This Turkish word referred to slaves who were trained as soldiers for the Ottoman Empire. (The Turkish word was also adopted into English as "janissary"). The first known use of the word Шаблон:Lang in New Mexico was during the early 1660s when a politician was accused of mistreating a Шаблон:Lang servant, whose father was a Pueblo and whose mother was Apache-Quivira (Wichita). The term became used generally after 1692 when the Spanish regained control of New Mexico after the Pueblo revolt.Шаблон:Sfnp

The word Шаблон:Lang also had a military meaning in New Mexico. Шаблон:Lang militia and scouts were important in defending New Mexico from raiding Comanche, Apache, and Navajo warriors. The Шаблон:Lang were organized formally in 1808 into a Шаблон:Lang Troop, commanded by a corporal from their ranks and with a supply system dedicated for them.[11]

History

Шаблон:Lang were typically indigenous people who had been captured and enslaved by other Indian tribes and whom Franciscan monks were obligated legally to rescue by paying ransom. The former slaves were made indentured servants in order to repay such debt, typically for a period of a number of years.[12]

During the late 1700s and early 1800s, Шаблон:Lang comprised a significant proportion of the population of what is now the southwest United States. They founded a number of localities, such as Belén, Tomé, Valencia, Carnué, Los Lentes, Las Trampas, Socorro and San Miguel del Vado. There were also Шаблон:Lang in towns such as Albuquerque, Atrisco, Santa Fe, Chimayó, Taos, Abiquiú and Las Vegas.

The debt of a ransomed Native American (a Шаблон:Lang), often a child, was usually 10 to 20 years of service to the person paying the ransom. Young women were especially prized. The experience of most ransomed Native Americans was "bondage on a continuum that ranged from near slavery to familial incorporation, but few shed the stigma of servility". Descendants of Шаблон:Lang typically were also considered Шаблон:Lang. But, as in the case of the rest of colonial Mexico, this classification was not an absolute impediment to social mobility.Шаблон:Sfnp

The Comanche and other tribes brought their captives to trade fairs and offered them for sale. In 1770, a female captive from 12 to 20 years old sold for two good horses and some small items; a male was worth only one-half as much.[13]

Many of the Шаблон:Lang complained of mistreatment by the Spanish. Based on a policy established by the Governors of New Mexico, they were settled in land grants on the periphery of Spanish settlements. These settlements became buffer communities for larger Spanish towns in the event of attack by the enemy tribes surrounding the province.Шаблон:Sfnp The Шаблон:Lang in the frontier communities become mediators between the often-hostile Indian tribes surrounding the Spanish settlements and the Spanish authorities.Шаблон:Sfnp

The following description from the 1740s of the Tome-Valencia settlements by a Spanish religious official, Fray Menchero, describes Шаблон:Lang and their settlement on land grants:

"This is a new settlement, composed of various nations [tribes], who are kept in peace, union, and charity by the special providence of God and the efforts of the missionaries,... the Indians are of the various nations that have been taken captive by the Comanche Apaches, a nation so bellicose and so brave that it dominates all those of the interior country...They sell people of all these nations to the Spaniards of the kingdom, by whom they are held in servitude, the adults being instructed by the fathers and the children baptized. It sometimes happens that the Indians are not well treated in this servitude, no thought being given to the hardships of their captivity, and still less to the fact that they are neophytes, and should be cared for and treated with kindness. For this reason many desert and become apostates. Шаблон:Sfnp

The settlements of Tomé and Belén, just south of Albuquerque, were described by Juan Agustín Morfi as follows in 1778:

"In all the Spanish towns of New Mexico there exists a class of Indians called genízaros. These are made up of captive Comanches, Apaches, etc. who were taken as youngsters and raised among us, and who have married in the province ... They are forced to live among the Spaniards, without lands or other means to subsist except the bow and arrow which serves them when they go into the back country to hunt deer for food ... They are fine soldiers, very warlike ... Expecting the genízaros to work for daily wages is a folly because of the abuses they have experienced, especially from the alcaldes mayores in the past ... In two places, Belen and Tome, some sixty families of genizaros have congregated."Шаблон:Sfnp

Tribal origins

According to DNA studies, Hispanos of New Mexico have significant proportions of Amerindian genes (between 30 and 40% of the Nuevomexicano genome) due to the interbreeding between Spanish and genízaros.[14] Most Шаблон:Lang were Navajo, Pawnee, Apache, Kiowa Apache, Ute, Comanche, and Paiute, who had been purchased at a young age and worked as domestic servants and sheepherders.Шаблон:Sfnp Throughout the Spanish and Mexican period, Шаблон:Lang settled in several New Mexican villages such as Belén, Tomé, Valencia, Carnuel, Los Lentes, Socorro, and San Miguel del Vado. Шаблон:Lang also lived in Albuquerque, Atrisco, Santa Fe, Chimayó, Taos, Abiquiú, and Las Vegas, NM.

By the mid-18th century, the Comanche dominated the weaker tribes in the eastern plains and sold children that they kidnapped from these tribes to the Spanish villagers.Шаблон:Sfnp By the Mexican and early American period (1821–1880), almost all of the Шаблон:Lang were of Navajo ancestry. During negotiations with the United States military, Navajo spokesmen raised the issue of Navajos being held as servants in Spanish/Mexican households. When asked how many Navajos were among the Mexicans, they responded: "over half the tribe".Шаблон:Sfnp Most of the captives never returned to the Navajo nation but remained as the lower classes in the Hispanic villages.Шаблон:Sfnp Members of different tribes intermarried in these communities.

Presently their descendants comprise much of the population of Atrisco, Pajarito, and Barelas in the South Valley of Albuquerque, and significant portions of the population of Las Vegas in Eastern New Mexico.Шаблон:Sfnp

19th century

In 1821, Mexico became independent of Spain, and New Mexico became a territory within the First Mexican Empire. The Treaty of Córdoba enacted by Mexico decreed that indigenous tribes within its borders were citizens of Mexico. During Spanish rule, Шаблон:Lang and Pueblo natives had often been treated as second-class citizens, although they were protected by the Laws of the Indies.Шаблон:Sfnp

Officially, the newly independent Mexican government proclaimed a policy of social equality for all ethnic groups, and the Шаблон:Lang were officially considered equals to their Шаблон:Lang (villagers of mainly mixed racial background) and Pueblo neighbors. During this period, use of the term Шаблон:Lang was ended officially for church and government documents.Шаблон:Sfnp In practice, however, Mexico was far from egalitarian. Many Шаблон:Lang remained culturally and economically marginal in New Mexican society.

Economic and social conditions during the Mexican period were so bad that in 1837, the Pueblo, Шаблон:Lang, coyotes, and Шаблон:Lang revolted against the Mexican government. Rebels beheaded Albino Perez (the Governor of New Mexico), and killed all of the Mexican troops in Santa Fe. They formed a new government and elected as governor José González, a Шаблон:Lang of Taos Pueblo and Pawnee ancestry.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp The revolt was often referred to as the Chimayoso Revolt, after the community of Chimayó in northern New Mexico, which was home to José Ángel González and many other mixed-blood indigenous peoples.Шаблон:Sfnp The Chimayoso revolt was one of many against the Mexican government by indigenous groups during this period, which included the Mayan revolt in Yucatán.
