ABSTRACT: Prior to European contact, the indigenous people living in New Haven, though small in number, had an advanced civilization. As a result of disease, war, acculturation, and what the author calls “a not-so-subtle form of ethnic cleansing”, the Quinnipiac way of life was dramatically changed, to the point that they no longer exist as an autonomous tribe. This article traces the events which led to the downfall of the tribe.

摘要:新港的本地居民虽然人数较少,但是在与欧洲人接触之前就已经有了先进的文化。由于疾病、战争、文化入侵以及作者定义的“一种不太决绝的民族清洗”,昆尼帕人的生活方式发生了剧烈的变化,最后他们再也不是一个民族了。本文追溯了这个部落消亡过程中的一些事件。
