Indlela Yokuvakashela Izwe Le-Hopi
Ukuvakashela eHopi Mesas, esenyakatho ye-Arizona, kubuyele emuva ngesikhathi. Abantu baseHopi beza eMesas ezikhathini zasendulo. I-Hopi iyisiko esidala kunazo zonke esikwenziwa njalo e-United States. Ngokusho kukaHopi, inkolo yeHii namasiko kuye kwasetshenziswa iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-3 000.
Ngenxa yokuthi iHopi iye yagcina inkolo nemasiko yabo eminyakeni eminingi, ngokwemvelo ivikela imikhuba yabo nendlela yabo yokuphila.
Ukuze ubone okuningi ku-Hopi Mesas futhi uhloniphe ubumfihlo bomphakathi, kunconywa ukuba uvakashele nomhlahlandlela.
Ukukhetha Umhlahlandlela
I-Hopi inenkolo eyingqayizivele nefilosofi. Ukuze uthole ukuqonda kwabantu, kubalulekile ukuthi umqondisi wakho avele kwenye yeHopi Mesas. Ukuze ukhethe umhlahlandlela, cabanga ngalokhu:
- Ingabe iHopi isiqondisi se-Hopi?
- Uma umhlahlandlela ushayela wena, ingabe umhlahlandlela unomshwalense wezentengiselwano kanye nelayisense?
- Ingabe umqondisi ukhuluma ngoHofi?
Sasebenza nomqondisi, uRay Coin, onomsebenzi ngemuva kweHhoi Cultural Center, Sacred Travel & Images, LLC. URay unemvelaphi efaka isikhathi esiseMyuziyamu yaseNorthern Arizona. Ukhulume ngeHopi eNorthern Arizona University futhi ungumfundisi we-Exploritas. Ngangikujabulela umbono kaRay njengomuntu oye wahlala kokubili eHopi (wazalwa eBacavi) nasemhlabeni wangaphandle. URay wayesebhizinisini lokuhamba iminyaka futhi unelayisensi yokushayela amaqembu ezivakashi.
Ngaphambi kokuba ngithinte uRay, angizange ngibe nomqondo ocacile wokuthi ngingaya kuphi eHopi nalapho ngingakwazi khona. Ngangazi ukuthi izinto zazivame ukuvaliwe ngenxa yekhalenda lemikhosi, kodwa mina-ke, angizange ngibe nolwazi lwalolo lwazi. Ukuba nomhlahlandlela wendawo kuzolungisa indlela yakho njengoba nje kwenza uma uvakashela izwe langaphandle.
Ukuvakashela ama-Mesia eHopi
Sicele ukuvakashela ezindaweni eziphezulu zeHopi futhi sithole ukuthi kungathatha ubuncane bosuku. Sasibe nesidlo sasekuseni sokungcebeleka esitolo sokudlela e-Hopi Cultural Centre futhi sixoxisane ngezinhlelo zethu. Ukudla kukhona okuhle kakhulu, ngendlela.
I-Mesa yokuqala noMuzi waseWalpi
Ukuma kwethu kokuqala kwakuyi-First Mesa. I-Mesa yokuqala ihlanganisa amadolobha kaWalpi, iSichomovi kanye neTewa. I-Walpi, endala kunazo zonke futhi imlando kakhulu, iphakeme ngaphezu kwesigodi ngamamitha angu-300. Sasihamba emgwaqweni ohamba phambili (ok for izimoto kanye vans) futhi bajabulela vistas esigodini enamakhaya kanye izakhiwo zezolimo. Kwakungusuku oluhle kakhulu lwelanga elinomoya omncane.
Sahlala esikhungweni somphakathi sasePonsi futhi sangena ngaphakathi ukuze sisebenzise indlu yokudlela futhi silindele ukuvakasha. (umqondisi wethu usevele ukhokhele imali futhi wasibhalisa). Ekugcineni (azikho izikhathi ezithile) loluhambo lwaqala ngenkulumo yowesifazane wesiguli uHopi.
Sifunde ngokuphila ku-First Mesa futhi satshelwa ukuthi uhambo lwethu lokuhamba luzovela kanjani. Sasijabule ngokuhamba ibanga elifushane ukuya eWalpi, phezulu ngenhla kwesigodi. Sifunde ngokucophelela imithetho ebekwe ngaphakathi kwesikhungo somphakathi esasikhumbuza ukuthi singadli izinja futhi sibonise ukuthi ukudansa kumkhosi we-First Mesa kuzovalwa kuvakashi.
Njengoba sihamba, abakwa-Kachina bezimoto nabathengi basinika izinto zabo. Sasivame ukumenywa emakhaya ukuze sibone izenzi. Ngincoma kakhulu ukuthi ungena ekhaya uma umenyiwe. Lezi zinsipho ziyamangalisa njengezindawo ezingaphandle kwalezi zakhiwo zendabuko. Ngesinye ikhaya ngathola injabulo yokubona umugqa omude wamadokodo kachina ebekwe odongeni eliphezulu. Yayiyizidopho zendodakazi enkulu yombumbi.
Yonke iminikelo yokukhwabanisa yayiyiqiniso futhi ezinye zaziyikhwalithi ebonwe emaphepheni. Amanani angaxoxwa. Uma uvakashela iHopi, ulethe imali eningi!
Ngaphambi nje kokuba singene kuWalpi, saqaphela ukuthi izingcingo zikagesi zayeka. Imindeni embalwa esaphila kuWalpi ihlala ngokwemvelo ngaphandle kwamasevisi angaphandle. Njengoba sibheka, umqondisi wethu wabonisa amaKivas, ama-plazas lapho kuqhutshwa khona imidanso emidlalweni futhi sasibukezela emaphethelweni omkhumbi wamangala ukuthi izakhamuzi zasekuqaleni zazikhuphuka emanzini nsuku zonke ukuhambisa amanzi emakhaya abo.
Wonke umuntu ohambweni wayekhathazeka ngomlando nobuhle bukaWalpi. Sasivakashele nabakwa-carvers, siyabonga izinto zabo futhi safunga ukubuyela ngemva kokulondoloza imali eyengeziwe ukuthenga ingcebo ye-Hopi yangempela.
I-Mesa yokuqala ne-Walpi izivakashi zivulekile emphakathini. Kukhona imali engu- $ 13 umuntu ngamunye ohambweni olulodwa lwehora lokuhamba.
I-Mesa yesibili
Izivakashi zingavakashela nomzana waseSipaulovi. Bheka isikhungo somvakashi phakathi nendawo yedolobha. Lapho sifika, ivaliwe ngakho asizange sivakashele. Lokhu akuyona into engavamile ku-Hopi. Sasicabanga ukuthi kuyoba mnandi ukubuyela futhi sivakashele phezulu kwendawo yakudala. Kukhona imali engu-$ 15 ngomuntu ngamunye we-Walking Tour.

I-Mesa yesithathu
URay wasiyisa e-Oraibi (ozaivi) ku-Third Mesa.
Etholakala entshonalanga yama-messi aseHopi, cishe kungenzeka ukuthi yiyona pueblo endala kakhulu ehlala kuyo eNingizimu-ntshonalanga ehamba phambili mhlawumbe ngo-1000-1100 kumadokhumenti ase-Old Oraibi amasiko e-Hopi nomlando ovela ngaphambi kokuxhumana kwe-Europe kuze kube namuhla. Saqala uhambo lwethu ngokuya esitolo, lapho sabeka khona.
URay wasidabula edolobhaneni elalisilungiselela umkhosi wezimpelasonto. Izakhamuzi zangaphandle zenza umsebenzi wegceke futhi zihlanza. Sasiqonda ukuthi phakathi nempelasonto leli dolobha lalizovuvukala ezinkulungwaneni eziningana njengoba abantu bebuyela emidlalweni yomkhosi. Ngaphambi kosuku, sasikhathazekile ngokuthi singase singakwazi ukuvakasha njengoba la madoda efika eKivas futhi ephethe imishini yangaphakathi.
Njengoba sasihamba emzaneni wamanje, safika endaweni, engemuva, eyayiqaphele isigodi. Amatshe asekhaya ayewile phansi futhi idolobhana lalingenalutho.
Emzaneni lapho sasisanda khona, amakhaya amasha akhiwa ngesikhathi esidala, isendlalelo phezu kwendlala. Le ndawo yayihlukile kakhulu. URay wachaza ukuthi leli dolobha lalihlukanisile emigqeni yamakholwa angokwesiko nesikhathi samanje. Ngonyaka we-1906. Abaholi bezinhlanga ezihlangothini ezihlukene zobuhlanga babenomncintiswano wokungenazimboni ukuze banqume umphumela, okwakubangelwa ukuxoshwa kwabaholi bezinkolelo, abashiya ukuthola indawo yaseHhovvilla.
Njengoba sicabanga ngalokhu kuhlukaniswa kwemibono, uRay wasiqondisa ama-mesas ekude futhi wachaza indlela isikhundla selanga esingasetshenziswa ngayo ukuphawula ikhalenda.
Uma uvakashela i-Oraibi ngaphandle komqondisi, yimisa esitolo bese ubuza ukuthi ungaphi nokuthi ungakwazi yini. Ngikholwa ukuthi yindawo evaliwe. Ngincoma kakhulu ukuthi uhambe nomhlahlandlela. U-Oraibi uyaziwa ngokuthi "umzana womama" eHopi futhi kubalulekile ukuthi ufunde okuthile komlando ukuze uqonde ngokugcwele lokho okubonayo.
U-Ray unikeza uhambo oluthulwe nge-Kykotsmovi, i-Bacavi, ukuma e-Ozaivi ukuvakasha ukuhamba (2 ihora lokuvakasha) futhi ukhokhise u-$ 25 ngomuntu ngamunye
Ukuze uqonde ngokugcwele isiko lamazwe aseHopi, kubalulekile ukuvakashela wonke ama-mesas amathathu ngomhlahlandlela onolwazi. Thatha isikhathi sakho, ucabange ngalokho okuzokwaziswa ngakho, ujabulele isiko nombono wabantu futhi uvule ingqondo yakho ... nenhliziyo yakho. Uzobuya ngokuningi!
