Abstract

For over 180 years, it has been reported in academic and popular literature that Portuguese raiders from Timor captured and enslaved people from the Tiwi Islands in north Australia. The experience of slave-raiding is often cited as an explanation for the islanders’ fierce hostility to intruders. However, this is despite the lack of any solid evidence to support the slave-raiding claims. Additionally, if Portuguese slave-raiding of the Tiwi Islands began in the sixteenth century or at the very beginning of the seventeenth century, as is often claimed, or implied, then the generally accepted history of the European discovery of Australia is wrong. The origins of these claims, their validity, and alternative readings of the Tiwi Islands’ history are all explored in this article.

梅尔维尔岛的提维人,帝汶的葡萄牙人,以及奴隶制
180多年来,学术文献和通俗文学报道说,来自帝汶的葡萄牙侵略者捕获并奴役了来自澳大利亚北部提维群岛的人民。劫掠奴隶的经历经常被用来解释岛民对入侵者的强烈敌意。然而,尽管缺乏任何确凿的证据来支持奴隶掠夺的说法。此外,如果葡萄牙人对提维群岛的奴隶掠夺开始于16世纪或17世纪初,正如人们经常声称或暗示的那样,那么普遍接受的欧洲人发现澳大利亚的历史是错误的。本文将探讨这些主张的起源、有效性以及对提维群岛历史的不同解读。
