Abstract

Abstract This paper balances an earlier study of the life of Zakheus Pakage, an indigenous religious leader among the Me of the Paniai Lakes region of Irian Jaya, with a brief account of the life of one of his principal adversaries, Weakebo Mote. Weakebo's strategy during the 1930s and early 1940s of allying himself firmly with both the Catholic and Protestant missions is described. He also emerged as a key supporter of the Dutch colonial administration, whose officers he continued to assist during the Japanese occupation of the Paniai area. This strategy needs to be appreciated in the light of Weakebo's opposition to Zakheus, whose clan traditionally fought with Weakebo's clan, and whose message of an independent, indigenous church posed a threat to the basis of Weakebo's standing in the community.

弱者的转变:20世纪30年代美国社会的一个大人物
摘要:本文平衡了对伊里安查亚帕尼埃湖地区土著宗教领袖扎赫乌斯·帕卡奇生平的早期研究,以及对他的主要对手之一Weakebo Mote生平的简要描述。在20世纪30年代和40年代初,弱者的策略是坚定地与天主教和新教的使命结盟。他还成为荷兰殖民政府的主要支持者,在日本占领帕尼艾地区期间,他继续协助荷兰殖民政府的官员。鉴于Weakebo对Zakheus的反对,这一策略值得赞赏,Zakheus的部落传统上与Weakebo的部落发生冲突,而Zakheus的独立、本土教会的信息对Weakebo在社区中的地位构成了威胁。
