He hui pū'onihi a me nā pūpū mīmū ma ka mokupuniʻo Vieques, Puerto Rico ('Aʻawi, Al Jazeera.)
He mea paʻakikī ke manaʻoʻia he wahi i nohoʻia oʻAmelika Huipūʻiaʻo ia kahi kahua no nā pāʻani kaua kaua a ma keʻano he pōpopapuni no nā makahiki he nui. ʻO ka hopena kēia o ka poʻe noho o nā mokupuni o Nā wāwae a Culebra, he mau moku'āina ia o ka moku'āinaʻo Puerto Ricoʻo US, nona nā kānaka e noho nei he poʻeʻAmelika.
Ma ʻOkakopa 19, 1999, ke kiaʻāina o Pokoliko i kēlā manawa. Pedro Rosselló i hōʻike mua i mua o Ua hālāwai ka hālāwai o ka 'ahahui o ka' Aha Hoʻokolokolo KoaʻAmelika a hoʻopau i kāna'ōlelo mana me kēia mau hua'ōlelo:
ʻO mākou, ka poʻe o Puerto Rico, ʻaʻole loa ka hui mua o nā kamaʻāina ʻAmelika i hala i loko o ke kula demokrasia o nā kikeke paʻakikī a ua aʻo ʻia kēlā haʻawina ʻeha. Mr. Lunahoomalu, ke lana nei ko makou pono i ko makou Moana. Mahalo mākou i kona mākaukau. Hoʻokipa mākou iā ia ma ke ʻano he hoalauna. Haʻaheo nui mākou i nā kaukani he mau kaukani o Puerto Ricans i pane i kāna kāhea ʻana e kōkua e pale i ke kumu o ke kūʻokoʻa a puni ka honua. A maopopo nō wau kaʻana like ʻia koʻu mau manaʻo e ka hapanui o Puerto Ricans ma nā wahi āpau, me Vieques. ʻAʻole au i emi iki, akā naʻe, ʻo mākou, ka poʻe o Pokoliko, ua puka i ke kolone. ʻAʻole mākou e hoʻomanawanui hou aku i ka hana ʻino ʻana i ka nui a me ka laulā e like me nā kaiāulu o nā mokuʻāina 50 e noi ʻia e hoʻomanawanui.
ʻAʻole loa mākou eʻae i ka hōʻehaʻana. ʻAʻole no nā makahiki 60,ʻaʻole no nā mahina 60, aiʻole nā lā 60, nā hola 60, a me nā hola 60. ʻO kēia paha he hopena maʻamau o ka ikaika me ka pololei. A ua hāʻawi mākou i nā poʻe o Puerto Rico i ka ikaika no mākou e kākoʻo i kahi kumu kūpono.
Ma ke Akua ke hilinaʻi nei mākou a pau i ka hilinaʻiʻana i ke Akua, eʻike mākou i ka hoʻopōmaikaʻiʻia o ko mākou mau hoalauna kokoke i Vieques me ka'ōlelo hoʻohiki o ke ola oʻAmelika, ke kūʻokoʻa a me ka loaʻaʻana o ka hauʻoli.
Ua hoʻopau nā hana kūʻē i nā pāʻani kaua ma Culebra i ka makahiki 1975, akā ua hoʻomau ʻia nā hana koa ma Vieques a hiki i Mei 1, 2003.
Ua hewa houʻo Vieques, Culebra, a me Puerto Rico. I kēia manawa,ʻaʻole lākou i pāpāʻia e ka pūʻali koa US. Ma ka hopena, ua hoʻopiʻiʻia lākou e ka makaniʻinoʻo Irma a me Maria, aʻo ka hōʻinoʻia,ʻo ia ka pane hōʻole o ke aupuni US i alakaʻiʻia e Donald Trump.
Ma muli o ke kikowaena o ka pelekane post Pukehonuaʻo Puerto Rico e kā mākou mau pāʻani nui,ʻo ka nele i ka hoʻokomoʻana i kaʻike ma kahi o ka mōʻaukala, a me kaʻikeʻole o ka hoʻonaʻauao e pili ana iā Puerto Rico a me Puerto Rican moʻolelo ma kēia'āina. ʻO Vieques-kona hala, kona manawa, a me ka wā e hiki mai ana.
I loko o ke wikiō ma luna, hāʻawi ʻo Robert Rabin He moʻolelo pōkole o Vieques.
Hōʻike nā noiʻi ua noho mua ʻia ʻo Vieques e nā ʻōiwi ʻAmelika i hele mai mai ʻAmelika Hema ma kahi o 1500 mau makahiki ma mua o ka hele wāwae ʻana o Christopher Columbus ma Pokoliko i ka makahiki 1493. Ma hope o ke kaua pōkole ʻana ma waena o nā Indians a me nā Paniolo kūloko, ua kāohi ka poʻe Paniolo i ka mokupuni, a hoʻohuli i nā kamaʻāina. i loko o kā lākou mau kauā. I ka makahiki 1811, ua hoʻouna ʻo Don Salvador Melendez, a laila ke kiaʻāina o Pokoliko, iā Juan Rosello ka luna koa e hoʻomaka i ka lilo ʻana o Vieques e nā poʻe o Pokoliko. I ka makahiki 1816, ua kipa ʻia ʻo Vieques e Simón Bolívar. ʻO Teofilo Jose Jaime Maria Gillou, ka mea i ʻike ʻia ma ke ʻano he hoʻokumu o Vieques ma ke ʻano he kaona, i hōʻea i 1823, e hōʻailona ana i kahi manawa o ka hoʻololi waiwai a me ka nohona kaiāulu no ka mokupuni ʻo Vieques
Ma ka hapalua o ka 19 century, ua loaʻaʻo Vieques i nā kaukaniʻeleʻele mai ka poʻe i hele mai e kōkua me ka mahi kō. ʻO kekahi o lākou i hele mai he mau kauā, aʻo kekahi i hele mai i kā lākou iho no ka loaʻa kālā. ʻO ka hapanui o lākou i hele mai mai nā mokupuni kokoke iā St. Thomas, Nevis, St. Kitts, St. Croix a me nā lāhui'ē aʻe'ē aʻe.
I ka wā o ka 1940s i kūʻaiʻia ai ka 60% o ka'āina'āinaʻo Vieques me kaʻoihana mahiʻai a me nā mea kanu mai nā'āina mai, aʻo ka poʻe i waihoʻia me ka loaʻaʻole o nāʻoihana lawelawe a ua hoʻoikaikaʻia nā poʻe he nui i ka neʻeʻana i Puerto Rico a me St. Croix. no nā hale a me nā hana. Ma hope o kēlā, ua hoʻohana ka pūʻali koa oʻAmelika Hui Pūʻia iā Vieques ma keʻano he kumu ho'āʻo no nā poma, nā pahi kaua, a me nā mea kaua'ē aʻe
Ua ʻike ka hapa nui o ʻoukou i nā kiʻi kaua o ka pūʻali koa US e hōʻike nei i ka pōkā ʻana o "ka ʻenemi." Eia nō naʻe, hōʻike kēia kaha kiʻi i ka pōkā o Vieques i ka wā o "nā pāʻani kaua," hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ola ammo. "Ma luna o nā mea koʻikoʻi, holo kaʻalu i ke kahua kahua hoʻolālā o ke kāʻei'Ākau'Ākau oʻAkelanika, kahi o nā kahua hoʻokūkū ola nui loa ma ka honua."
60 Hekikai (ʻike i ka wikiō e pili ana) ua hana kahi kūikawā i kapa ʻia ʻo “Hoʻopāʻau Biebing. "
He wahi maʻamau ʻo Vieques. Ma ka ʻaoʻao hikina wale nō o Puerto Rico, he mokupuni liʻiliʻi ia me kahi 9,000 mau kamaʻāina, ka hapa nui o nā kamaʻāina ʻAmelika.
Akā ʻaʻole maluhia nā mea āpau: nona ka Navy i ʻelua hapakolu o ka mokupuni a no nā makahiki he 50 i hala i hoʻohana mau ʻia i kahi ʻāpana o ia ʻāina ma ke ʻano he hoʻomaʻamaʻa hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kona pūʻali koa e hoʻohana i ka hana ola.
ʻO ka hapa nui o ko ka Navy ʻāina kahi ʻāpana buffer ma waena o ka poʻe noho a me ka pae pōkā ma ka piko hikina. ʻO kēlā wēlau kahi wale nō ma ka ʻAkelanika kahi e hiki ai i ka Navy ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka hoʻouka kaua holoʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa e hoʻohui ana i ka pae ʻana o ke kai, ka puhi kaua moana a me nā ʻōhau ea.
Akā, ua'ōlelo nā poʻe mokupuni e noho ana ka nohoʻana i kahi'āpana hakakā i ka pōʻino a me ka olakino.
"Manaʻo wau inā e hana ʻia kēia ma Manhattan, a i ʻole inā e hana ʻia ia ma ka pā waina ʻo Martha, he ʻoiaʻiʻo e ʻike nā ʻelele mai kēlā mau mokuʻāina ʻaʻole e hoʻomau ʻia kēia," wahi a ke kiaʻāina ʻo Puerto Rican Pedro Rossello.
Akā me ka ʻole o Vieques, ʻaʻole hiki i ka Navy ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa pono i kāna pūʻali koa, wahi a Rear Admiral William Fallon, ka luna o ka ʻAmelike ʻAtelanika. "E pili ana i ka pilikia hakakā," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.
"ʻO ke kumu a mākou e hana ai i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ahi-ola no ka mea pono mākou e hoʻomākaukau i ko mākou poʻe no kēia hiki, kēia hanana," hoʻomau ʻo ia.
"Inā ʻaʻole mākou e hana, hoʻokomo mākou iā lākou i kahi makaʻu loa, pololei loa," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "ʻO ia ke kumu nui ia i ka Navy a me ka lāhui."
Ua kauoha ʻo Puerto Rico i kahi noiʻi no ka poino a ua hoʻolimalima ʻo ia i ka poʻe akamai i nā mea pahū ʻo Rick Stauber lāua ʻo James Barton e ana i ka mokupuni. Ua ʻōlelo nā kāne ʻelua aia he "ākea ākea" o ka ordnance ola ʻole i hoʻopuehu ʻia e hoʻopuehu ʻia a puni ka mokupuni a ma ka papahele kai a puni ia.
ʻO kēia palapala hōʻike kiko'ī i ka uluʻana o ka neʻe kū'ē. Ua kapaʻia ʻO Vieques: Ponoʻo kēlā me kēia Bit o ka hakakā, Mai ʻO Mary Patierno on vimeo.
I ka 1940 o ka US Navy ua kāʻili aku i ka hapa nui o ka mokupuni liʻiliʻi o Vieques, Pokoliko a kūkulu i kahi kahua hoʻāʻo kaua a me kahi kahua hoʻomaʻamaʻa. No nā makahiki he kanaono a ʻoi paha i waiho ʻia nā kamaʻāina ma 23% wale nō o ka mokupuni, e moe ana ma waena o nā hale kūʻai mea kaua a me kahi pae pōkā.
No nā makahiki, ua kūʻē kahi hui liʻiliʻi o nā mea hoʻonāukiuki i nā hoʻokolohua pōpoki pōkole a ka Navy a me kā lākou mau hoʻokolohua me nā ʻōnaehana mea kaua hou ma Vieques. Akā ʻo ka hakakā e kūʻē i ka Navy ʻaʻole ia i kau i ka nānā ākea a hiki i ʻApelila 19, 1999 i ka wā i make ai ʻo David Sanes Rodríguez, kiaʻi kiaʻi ma ke kahua, i ka wā i pohā mai ai he ʻelua mau pōkā he 500 paona ma kāna wahi. ʻO ka make ʻana o Sanes i hāpai i kahi neʻe kūʻē i ka pūʻali koa a hoʻonāukiuki i nā kuko o Puerto Ricans mai nā ʻano like ʻole o ke ola.

Uaʻikeʻia ka moʻoleloʻo Christian Science Monitor "Ua hoʻohanaʻo Pentagon i ka Mokupuni o Vieques no ke aʻoʻana no nā makahiki he nui, akā, ua hōʻehaʻia ka make i ka make.":
Hiki i ka US Navy ke lilo i kahi papahana aʻo mua ma hope o ka hoʻopauʻoleʻana i ke aupuni a me nā poʻe noho o Puerto Rico. ʻO ka moku'āinaʻo Vieques, ka mea i kūʻaiʻia e ka US i nā 1940s no $ 1.5 miliona, i manaʻoʻia he wahi kūpono no ka hoʻokuʻuʻiaʻana o ka lepo a me nā hōʻeha kino o ka makani me nā pōpō ola. Akā, ma hope o ka make makeʻole i kēia makahiki o kahi noho moku, hiki i nā luna o Puerto Rican keʻalo i ka Navy a me Marines mai ke kauʻana i nāʻoihana hou aku. Ke hoʻopiʻi nei ka hihia i nā'ōlelo hōʻeha i hōʻeuʻeu ka Pentagon iā Puerto Rico, heʻupena o nā poʻeʻAmelika i kūʻole i ka pono e koho balota aiʻole hōʻike ma Wakinekona.
"ʻAʻohe wahi ma nā mokuʻāina 50 e loaʻa nā hoʻolālā koa e like me nā mea ma Vieques," wahi a Charles Kamasaki o ka National Council of La Raza, kahi hui pono kīvila ma Wakinekona.
Hoʻopiʻi ka poʻe loiloi i ka Navy no ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi ola ola kokoke loa i nā lāhui civila a no ka haki ʻana i kahi ʻaelike 1983 e kaupalena ai i nā hana ma ka pae kī. Ua ʻae ka Pentagon i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pōkā uranium-i hoʻopau ʻia, napalm, a me nā pōkā pūpū. Ma ka liʻiliʻi he hoʻokahi noiʻi i hōʻike ʻia ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka nui o ka maʻi ʻaʻai ma nā poʻe noho ma Vieques ma mua o nā Puerto Ricans ʻē aʻe - kahi uku hōʻole a ka Navy.
ʻO ka mea nui ma kēiaʻatikala:
ʻAʻole i hoʻokōʻia ka neʻeʻana o ka Vieques a hiki i ka lāʻo Aperila 19, i ka wā i hoʻokahe ai kekahi pilo pilo iʻelua pōkūʻo 500-paona mai ka papa aku, a pepehi i kahi kiaʻi hoʻomalu āpau ma ke kahua a hōʻeha i nā mea'ē aʻeʻehā. Ua'āhewaʻia ka pilikia ma luna o ka pilote a me nāʻike hewa.
Mai ia manawa, hoʻomoana nā mea hōʻike i waho o ka pae a ua hoʻokahuli ka Navy. I kēlā me kēia Pōʻaono, mālama kekahi mau mea kūʻē 300 ma waho o hoʻokahi pūnaewele pūʻali koa. "Ke neʻe hou aʻe ka Navy, hana mākou i kā mākou neʻe aʻe," wahi a Oscar Ortiz, he limahana uniona. “Inā makemake lākou e hopu iā mākou, ua mākaukau mākou. Pono lākou e hopu i nā poʻe a pau o Pokoliko. ”
No ka mea hou aku, makemake wau e heluhelu Ka Manawa Koa a me nā Kūlana Kūʻokoʻa:ʻO ka US Navy ma Vieques, Puerto Rico, na Katherine T. McCaffrey.
ʻO nā kamaʻāina o Vieques, kahi mokupuni liʻiliʻi ma waho o ke kapakai hikina o Pokoliko, noho paʻa ʻia ma waena o nā waihona puhukū a me nā pae pōkā ola no ka US Navy. Mai ka 1940 i ka wā i hao ai ka moku kaua ma luna o ʻelua hapakolu o ka mokupuni, ua hakakā nā kamaʻāina e hana i kahi ola i waena o ka hekili ʻana o nā pōkā a me ke kani ʻana o ke ahi mea kaua. E like me ka base armys ma Okinawa, Iapana, ua huki ke keʻena i nā kūʻē kūʻē mai nā kamaʻāina nāna i ʻaʻa i nā pono palekana US ma nā ʻāina ʻē. I ka makahiki 1999, i ka wā i luku ʻia ai kahi limahana kūloko o ke kahua e kahi pōkā pahū, ua hū hou ʻo Vieques i nā kūʻē i hoʻākoakoa i ʻumi tausani mau kānaka a hoʻololi i kēia mokupuni ʻo Caribbean i kahi hoʻonohonoho no kahi kumu kūloko.
Hāʻawi ʻo Katherine T. McCaffrey i kahi kālailai piha o ka pilina pilikia ma waena o ka US Navy a me nā kamaʻāina mokupuni. ʻImi ʻo ia i nā kumuhana e like me ka mōʻaukala o ka komo ʻana o ka moku kaua US ma Vieques; kahi mauʻu i hoʻouluulu ʻia e ka lawaiʻa i hoʻomaka i nā makahiki 1970; pehea i hoʻohiki ai ka mokuahi e hoʻomaikaʻi i ke ola o nā kamaʻāina mokupuni a kūleʻa ʻole hoʻi; a me ka puka ʻana o kēia lā o kahi activism politika i hoʻāla hou ʻia e hoʻopiʻi maikaʻi i ka hegemony naval.
Lawe ka hihia o Vieques i kahi hopohopo nui ma waena o nā kulekele ʻē aʻe o US i ʻoi aku ma mua o Puerto Rico: nā pūʻali koa ma nā ʻāina ʻē e like me nā lāʻau uila no ka manaʻo anti-ʻAmelika, no laila ke hoʻoweliweli nei i kēia kiʻi a me nā hoihoi i nā ʻāina ʻē. Ma ke kālailai ʻana i kēia pilina pili hakakā, ua ʻimi pū kekahi ka puke i nā haʻawina nui e pili ana i ka kolone a me ka postcolonialism a me ka pilina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā ʻāina kahi e mālama ai i nā kahua koa.
ʻO ka wikiwiki i ka hopena o nā makahiki o kaʻoihana koa. Hoʻonohonohoʻia ma 2013 Al Jazeera keia 'atikala, e nīnau ana, "Ke maʻi, nā maʻi pōpilikia, a me nā maʻi o ka waiwai mau loa o ka hoʻohanaʻana i nā mea kaua a ka US ma ka mokuʻo Puerto Rican?"
Ua pilikia nui nā poʻe Islanders i ka nui o ka maʻi kanikau a me nā maʻi'ē aʻe ma mua o ka mea i koe o Puerto Rico, kahi mea e pili ana i nā makahiki o nā mea kaua. Akā, i hōʻikeʻia kahi hōʻike i Malaki e ka US Agency for Dough substances and Registry Disease (ATSDR),ʻo ka luna aupuni e mālama ana i nā meaʻawaʻawa,'ōleloʻiaʻaʻole i loaʻa kahi pūnaewele.

E like me ka'ōlelo ma luna,ʻo Vieques ka pae o kekahi o nā mea kupaianaha maoli o ke ao, kahi iʻikeʻia i loko o kēiaʻano NPR.
Eia mākou i kēia pō e nānā i lalo i ka wai no ke ola kai luminous i kapa ʻia dinoflagellates. Mālamalama kēia mau plankton pūnaewele hoʻokahi ke hoʻopilikia ʻia lākou. Ke nui a plankton nā kūlana maikaʻi loa, e holo ana i kou lima ma waena o ka wai e waiho i kahi ala o ke kukui uila.
ʻĀlohilohi ka ʻano ma aneʻi. Kāhea ʻia ʻO Pyrodinium bahamense, a i ʻole "ke ahi ʻōwili o nā Bahama." Wahi a Hernandez a me kahi alakaʻi ʻē aʻe i ka wā e ʻālohilohi nei ke kai kūʻono, hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻi maoli i ke ʻano o nā iʻa e neʻe nei i lalo o ka wai ma muli o ke ʻano o ka ʻōlinolino. ʻO ka iʻa e lele ana ma luna o ka ʻili e waiho i kahi ala o ka splashes luminous. Ke heleleʻi ka ua, ʻōlelo lākou ua kūpono ka papa holoʻokoʻa o ka wai. ʻO Edith Widder, he loea bioluminescence a me ka mea hoʻokumu o ka Research Research and Conservation Association, e'ōlelo ana he nani keʻano palekana no kēia mau mea i hoʻohālike i nāʻano me nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona. Hiki i nā'ōlapa ke hoʻomaopopo i nā mea hoʻonui nui i ka hikiʻana o nā mea e hoʻopilikia i ka papa honua.
"No laila, he hana paʻakikī loa ia no ka mea ola hoʻokahi, a hiki i ke keikikāne ke lilo i mea kupaianaha," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.
Akā hōʻino nā makaniʻino i ka hōʻike mālamalama. Hoʻopilikia ka ua i ke kemika o ke kai kūʻono me ka nui o ka wai hou. Ua hōʻino ka Hurricane Maria i nā mangrove e hoʻopuni ana i ke kai kūʻono, kahi e hāʻawi ai i kahi wikamina pono i nā dinoflagellates, i ʻōlelo ʻo Widder. A hiki i nā makani kiʻekiʻe ke pahu i ka mea ʻālohilohi i waho i ke kai ākea. "Ua kipaku ka makani i ka wai mai ke kai kūʻono, mai ka waha o ke kai kūʻono," hoʻohui ʻo Hernandez. Ma hope o nā ʻino ʻē aʻe, ua hala he mau mahina ma mua o ka hoʻomaka hou ʻana o ke kai kūʻono
E loaʻa ʻO ka hui ʻana o Kos i kēlā me kēia lā ma Pokoliko ma Ianuali 29 me Chef Bobby Neary, kahi mea hou paionia. "Ke hoʻouna nei ʻo Kos i kēlā me kēia manawa iā Kelly Macias mai kā mākou limahana hoʻoponopono a me Chris Reeves mai kā mākou limahana hana kaiāulu e hana i kahi hōʻike kumu e pili ana iā Puerto Rico me ke kamaʻilio SOTU."
Ua maopopo iaʻu e hele ana lākou i Vieques, a e nānā i ka heluheluʻana i kā lākou mau pūʻulu.
Pa'lante!
