Njengoba amazinga okuzibulala e i-U.S. iye yakhuphuka eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule, uhlobo olulodwa lwabantu luye lwathinteka kakhulu kodwa lwashaywa indiva kakhulu: Intsha yoMdabu waseMelika.
Ngokusho kwe Ihhovisi Lezempilo Ezimbalwa eMnyangweni Wezempilo Nezinsizakalo Zabantu wase-U.S., ukuzibulala kwakuyimbangela yesibili yokufa kwamaNdiya aseMelika kanye nabomdabu base-Alaska abaneminyaka ephakathi kuka-10 no-34 ngo-2017. Eqinisweni, izinga lokufa lilonke ngenxa yokuzibulala kwalezo zizwe ezimbili cishe liphakeme ngamaphesenti angu-20 uma liqhathaniswa nabamhlophe abangewona ama-Hispanic - Abesifazane bomdabu baseMelika baseMelika nase-Alaska abaphakathi kweminyaka engu-15 nengu-19 kuphela banenani lokufa eliphindwe kathathu kunabesifazane abamhlophe abangewona amaSpanishi abakubakaki ofanayo.
Lezi zibalo ziqokomisa inkinga abambalwa abangaphandle kwabantu boMdabu baseMelika abayinakayo. Njengoba izwe libhekene nesimo esiphazamisayo lokho ukuzibulala kwentsha kuholele ekutheni iminyaka yokuphila ibe phansi, kuzabalazile ukunikeza izinsiza ezanele nokusekelwa emphakathini owodwa izinga lawo eliphezulu lokuzibulala kwentsha lingalandelelwa ngokwengxenye emlandweni walo oneziyaluyalu.
Enye yezinto ezinomthelela omkhulu uma sibheka ukuzibulala kwentsha yaboMdabu namuhla akukhona ngempela okwenzekayo manje kodwa nalokho okwenzeka esikhathini esidlule, u-Elizabeth Rule, umqondisi wenhlangano. Isikhungo se-AT&T Sezepolitiki Nenqubomgomo Yomdabu kanye nesakhamuzi esibhalisiwe se-Chickasaw Nation, sichazelwe ku-In The Know. Kufanele sicabange ngezinhlobo zemindeni nemizi abantu abaza kuyo - abazali babo, abadala babo, omalume babo, o-anti babo [kanye] nogogo nomkhulu babo nabo abanenkinga yokuhlukumezeka komlando.
Ukuhlukumezeka komlando, njengoba kwake kwachazwa yisishoshovu soMdabu waseMelika kanye nesisebenzi senhlalakahle u-Maria Yellow Horse Brave Heart, iwukulimala okungokomzwelo nangokwengqondo okwenyukayo phakathi nesikhathi sokuphila nezizukulwane ngezizukulwane, okubangelwa ukuhlukumezeka okukhulu kweqembu. Endabeni yomphakathi woMdabu waseMelika, amakhulu eminyaka okuqothulwa kohlanga ngamakoloni aseYurophu kuhlanganiswe ne ukudliwa kwezizwe zezizwe futhi ukuphathwa kabi kwanamuhla kwaboMdabu baseMelika kuye kwaholela emiphumeleni eminingi engokwengqondo. Ngenxa yalokho, labo abaphakathi komphakathi bangaba nenani lezimpawu ezingagcini nje ngokufuna ukuzibulala, umuzwa wecala osindile, ukucindezeleka kanye nokuzethemba okuphansi.
Isibonelo esicace kakhulu [sokuhlukumezeka] kungaba izikole okuhlalwa kuzo zoMdabu waseMelika [ezasungulwa ngeminyaka yawo-1870], kusho u-Rule. Lezi kwakuyizikole ezigunyazwe uhulumeni, ezayalelwa ngenqubomgomo yezingane zaboMdabu ezazihlukanisa izingane zaboHlanga nemindeni yazo, imiphakathi yazo. Siyazi ngomlando ukuthi bekunokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi okugcwele, ukuhlukunyezwa ngokomzimba, ukuhlukunyezwa ngokomzwelo. Nakuba singenazo lezi zikole okuhlalwa kuzo namuhla, sinabasindile abaphuma kulokho okuhlangenwe nakho okubuhlungu kakhulu.
Ukuntuleka kwemithombo yezomnotho eyanele kuye kwenza izimo zaba zimbi nakakhulu entsheni eningi yoMdabu waseMelika. Njengoba Isikhungo Socwaningo Lwenqubomgomo saseNorthwestern University amanothi, oyedwa kwabathathu boMdabu baseMelika uphila ngobumpofu neholo elimaphakathi lama- ,000 ngonyaka. Iningi lobubha namuhla lidalwe ukushoda kwemisebenzi emikhakheni yezokwakha neyokukhiqiza, ukwehla kwenani elincane lamaholo kanye nokungasebenzi kahle kwemisebenzi.
Kodwa ochwepheshe abaningana bayavuma ukuthi udaba olubaluleke kakhulu okufanele kubhekwane nalo njengamanje ukuqashelwa ubukhosi bezizwe, okuboshelwe emazingeni aphezulu okuzibulala phakathi kwentsha yoMdabu waseMelika.
Ukubhuka kwaqala phakathi nekhulu le-19 njengamakamu angamajele. Kuze kube namuhla, izinombolo zomazisi bezizwe zisuka ezinombolweni ‘zeziboshwa zempi’ ezakhishwa eminyakeni engaphezu kweyi-100 edlule, kusho uJesse Phelps, uchwepheshe wezokuxhumana eqenjini labamele iLakota People’s Law Project. Ifa lalolu dlame lwamakoloni ubumpofu obukhona futhi, ngokubikezelwa, amanani aphezulu okuzibulala. Impendulo emfushane yalo mbuzo iwukuthi, ukuze kugwenywe amanani aphezulu okuzibulala, ukuzibophezela okuqinile ekwakhiweni kwesizwe semiphakathi yezizwe kufanele kwenziwe yi-United States.
Ukunikeza izizwe zaboMdabu indawo ephelele yokuba - futhi zizibuse - kubalulekile, kusho uMthetho. AboMdabu baseMelika bavame ukubhekana nezithiyo emgwaqeni lapho belwela ukubonakala, ngokuvamile behlehliswa esikhathini esedlule, esho.
Enye yezindawo lapho sibona impumelelo ngentsha yethu yoMdabu kanye nokubuyisela impilo yayo engokwengqondo kanye nokuvimbela lezi zinhlekelele kuzoba ukuxhumana namasiko, kusho u-Rule. Kunezizwe ezingaphezu kuka-500 e-United States, futhi zonke zihlukene ngokwesiko, ngokwezilimi, ngokwenhlalo. Ngakho-ke, kunzima ngempela ukwenza imodeli eyodwa-ilingana-bonke ngaphandle uma kufika phansi ekusekeleni izizwe ukuze zizinike amandla.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ochwepheshe bathi kudingeka kunakwe okwengeziwe izisulu zabomdabu baseMelika zokuthandana, udlame lwasekhaya nolocansi, iningi labo elinovalo lokufuna usizo noma elingazi ukuthi lingakutholaphi ukusekelwa. Bangaphezu kwamane kwabahlanu kwabesilisa nabesifazane bomdabu baseMelika base-American Indian kanye nabesifazane base-Alaska abaye babhekana nodlame ekuphileni kwabo, ngokocwaningo lwango-2016 oluvela ku- Isikhungo Sikazwelonke Sobulungiswa.
Ukukukhanyisela, abanye abasebenzisi benkundla yezokuxhumana baye ku-TikTok ukuyolandisa ngesipiliyoni sabo. NgoJuni, ngokwesibonelo, umsebenzisi onesibambo sokhozi wakhumbula ukuthi umenzi wakhe wayeqondise abesifazane boMdabu kuphela.
Ngangingomunye walabo besifazane, umbhalo oyimbondela kuTikTok yakhe uyafunda. Ngaphuka isikhathi eside, kodwa manje senginamandla. [Futhi] ngizosebenzisa izwi lami ukuze angaphinde alimaze omunye umuntu.
Emzamweni wokubhekana nalolu daba, kanye nokuzibulala kwentsha, I-StrongHearts Native Helpline ingenye yezinsizakalo ezimbalwa ezihlinzeka ngendawo ephephile yentsha yoMdabu waseMelika. Labo abafuna ukwesekwa bangafinyelela nsuku zonke kusukela ngo-8 am EST kuya ku-11 p.m. EST.
Lapho intsha isebudlelwaneni obungenampilo nobuhlukumezayo, yona ngokwayo izizwa ikhathazekile, icindezelekile, yesaba, inecala [futhi] inamahloni, futhi ingase iqale ukukholelwa ukuthi yenze okuthile okufanele ihlukunyezwe, okuholela ekutheni icabange noma izibulale, u-Ericca. UHovie, umphathi wezokuxhumana ocingweni losizo, utshele In The Know.
Ama-ejensi amaningi e-federal kanye nezinhlangano zokumela - njenge Ukusebenzisa kabi Izidakamizwa kanye Nokuphathwa Kwezempilo Yengqondo kanye ne Isikhungo Sentsha YaseMelika YaseMelika - ngokufanayo babhekana nezinye zezinto ezingaholela ekucabangeni ukuzibulala ngokuzibandakanya ekufinyeleleni. Labo abathintekayo bathi imfundo ibalulekile - emiphakathini eminingi efana neCitizen Potawatomi Nation eShawnee, Okla., Ukuzibulala kuseyindaba engavumelekile.
Kusukela ezingeni le-systemic, kubonakala kwamukelwe njengesidingo kodwa akugxiliswanga kakhulu noma kunikeze ukujula okukhulu ngale kwalelo zinga, kusho uRickey Whisenhunt, umeluleki onelayisensi e-Citizen Potawatomi Nation Behavioral Health Clinic, kusho. Okubaluleke nakakhulu - futhi yilapho idatha yekhwalithi esiyitholile ingena khona - ukuthi akukhulunywa ngayo ezingeni lomndeni. Iningi lentsha esanda kweva eshumini nambili kanye nabantu abadala abasebasha abahlolwa kwaxoxwa nabo babika kancane ukuvuma ukuzibulala emndenini kuze kube yilapho isenzo sokuzibulala senziwa ngumuntu othile emndenini noma osondelene naye.
Kepha inqubekelaphambili ebalulekile ekuqwashiseni ngokuzibulala - nempilo yengqondo - yenziwe eminyakeni edlule, u-Rule uvumile.
Yebo sinezithiyo ezivamile zomphakathi zokukhuluma ngempilo yengqondo nokuzibulala njengawo wonke umuntu, kodwa ngijabule kakhulu ukusho ukuthi kukhona abahleli abahle kakhulu basemazingeni aphansi kanye nezinhlelo eziholwa ngumphakathi eziphethe futhi ezikhombisa ukuthi kulungile ukukhuluma. mayelana nale mishikashika, kusho yena.
