Ngeli xesha bendikwiStanding Rock, kuMntla Dakota kwinkampu yase-Oceti Shakowin ukumisa uMbhobho woFikelelo waseDakota (DAPL) iintsuku ezine ngexesha lokuhoywa kwelizwe kunye nehlabathi jikelele kulandela imiboniso emibini eyoyikekayo yenkohlakalo yamapolisa kubakhuseli bamanzi.
Ngomhla wama-27 ku-Okthobha, ngaphezulu kwe-100 amapolisa asekuhlaleni nawesizwe kunye nooMkhosi weSizwe abanxibe izixhobo zoqhushululu bephethe izigcina-ntloko, iimaski zobuso, iinduku kunye nezinye iimpahla zokukhusela, bephethe imipu yohlaselo bahlasela inkampu yaseFront Line North. Babenezinye izixhobo zomkhosi ezifana neMigodi yokuLalela abasebenzi abaKhuselweyo (MRAP) kunye neZixhobo zoLunge oluNxulumano lweAcoustic (LRAD) kunye neentlobo ezininzi zeetaser, iimbumbulu zengxowa yeembotyi kunye neeklabhu/iintonga. Babamba abantu abali-141, batshabalalisa inkampu yaseFrontline baza balahla izinto zabo babebanjiwe kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma. Unothimba wedolophu yaseMorton kuxelwe ukuba uphanda ukonakaliswa ngenjongo kwempahla yomntu.
Kolunye ulwazelelelo kubakhuseli bamanzi abangaxhomekanga, nge-2 kaNovemba, amapolisa adubula irhasi yeenyembezi kunye neembumbulu zembotyi kubakhuseli bamanzi ababemi kumganyana omncinci woMlambo iMissouri. Babemi emanzini abandayo ukukhusela ibhulorho eyenziwe ngesandla ewela umlambo ukuya kwiindawo zokungcwaba ezingcwele ezazitshatyalaliswa ngamapolisa. Amapolisa ayemi kwinduli yenduli neenyawo zawo kwiindawo zokungcwaba ezingcwele.
On October 3, ngokubambisana nabakhuseli bamanzi, iinkokeli zonqulo eziphantse zibe ngama-500 ezisuka kulo lonke elaseUnited States zifike zizokuzibandakanya nabakhuseli bamanzi ngosuku lomthandazo wokumisa iPipeline yaseDakota. UMbingeleli ka-Episcopal osele esidla umhlala-phantsi uJohn Flogerty wahlaba ikhwelo kuzwelonke ukuba abefundisi beze kwiStanding Rock. Uthe wothuswa kukuba kwisithuba esingaphantsi kweentsuku ezilishumi, iinkokeli ezingama-474 zaphendula ikhwelo lokumela ukhuseleko lukaMama woMhlaba. Ngexesha leeyure ezimbini zobungqina benkonzo edibeneyo, iingxoxo kunye nomthandazo kufutshane nokugrunjwa kwangoku kwe-Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), umntu unokuva oomatshini bokwemba betshabalalisa umgca wendlela emazantsi eHola we-1806.
Emva kwaloo ndibano, abamalunga nama-50 kwelo qela bakhwela inqwelo-mafutha baya eBismarck, ikomkhulu loMntla Dakota, besiya kucela iRhuluneli yeLizwe ukuba iwumise lo mbhobho. Abefundisi abali-14 bahlala phantsi kwirotunda yekomkhulu ngomthandazo, bala ukuphelisa imithandazo yabo nokuphuma kwisakhiwo esiyintloko xa bayalelwa ngamapolisa baza babanjwa.
Abanye abantu abahlanu babanjwa Imizuzu ye-30 kamva xa imikhosi yezaqhwithi yathunyelwa ukuba yoyikise intsalela yeqela xa lalinqumla isitrato lisingise ecaleni kwendlu yeRhuluneli yefama ukuze liguqe lithandaze. Abasetyhini ababanjwayo bathuthwa iiyure ze-4 kwintolongo ye-county e-Fargo, eMntla Dakota xa iseli yabasetyhini yayifumaneka e-Bismarck. Amadoda amabini abanjwe atshitshiswa xa axelelwa ukuba abafazi ababanjwayo bathatyathwe eFargo njengoko bebekwe bodwa kwiseli eya kuhlala ishumi elizaliswe yimveliso yokucoceka kwabasetyhini. Amadoda avalelweyo athi imali yawo yathathwa yaza intolongo yakhupha itshekhi yemali, nto leyo eyakhokelela ekubeni ABANGAKHO mali xa bekhululwe benze ukuba bafumane iteksi okanye bathenge ukutya phantse akunakwenzeka njengoko iiteksi kunye neevenkile ezithengisa ukutya azitsheki imali. Endaweni yoko, abo baphuma entolongweni baxelelwa ukuba baye ebhankini bayokukhupha iitshekhi ezikude nentolongo kwaye mhlawumbi zivaliwe xa abo babanjiweyo bekhululwa.
NgoMgqibelo, ngoNovemba 5, iinkokeli zebhunga lezizwe zalungiselela umsitho wamahashe njengoko amaIndiya akwiithafa “eyinzala yesizwe esinamandla samahashe.” Inkokeli yesizwe uJohn Eagle ukhumbuze abantu abamalunga ne-1,000 ababekwisangqa esikhulu kwiBhunga elitsha loMlilo oNgcwele, ukuba ngoAgasti 1876, amahashe angama-4,000 athatyathwa ngumkhosi wase-US eLakota kwindawo eyaziwa ngokuba yiDabi leNtyani eNcinci, neyaziwa ngokuba umkhosi wase-US njengedabi le-Little Bighorn. Wakhankanya nabangengabo amaSioux ukuba igama lesiSioux elithetha ihashe lithetha “nyana wam, ntombi yam.” Uthe ukubuyiswa kwamahashe kumlilo ongcwele kuya kuba kukuphilisa amahashe kwinkumbulo yawo yemfuza yonyango lwezinyanya zawo kwinkulungwane edlulileyo kunye nokuphilisa abemi bomthonyama baseMelika ngenxa yokwenzakala kwemfuza kunyango lwabo lwembali. kooyise. Ukuphiliswa kwabaninzi e-Standing Rock kwimpatho yabo yobundlobongela yakutsha nje ngamapolisa kunye noMlindi weSizwe waseNorth Dakota, yayiyeyona nto ibalulekileyo kulo msitho.
Umphathi uJohn Eagle wachaza ukuba uninzi lwabantu bomthonyama baseMelika bajoyine umkhosi kwaye njengamagqala okulwa, banoxinzelelo oluphindwe kabini lwe-post traumatic (PTS), okokuqala kunyango lwabo njengabemi baseMelika kwaye okwesibini njengamagqala okulwa. UJohn ugxininise ukuba kumagqala okulwa omthonyama ngokukodwa, kubalulekile ukusebenzisa igama elithi "abakhuseli bamanzi," njengoko amagama athi "abaqhankqalazi kunye nabaqhankqalazi" anokubangela impendulo ye-PTSD kwiintsuku zabo emkhosini wase-US. Wathi uyayibona i-PTSD emehlweni abantu abaninzi abaye badibana namapolisa.
Njengoko uJohn Eagle wayechaza injongo yomsitho, kumgama egxalathelana ezantsi kwindlela yeeflegi kwinkampu yase-Oceti Sankowin kwafika amahashe angama-30 nabakhweli. “Ngezikhalo zoxolo” kungekhona izikhalo zemfazwe, isangqa esikhulu sabantu abali-1,000 XNUMX savula ukuze samkele amahashe nabakhweli. Bawujikeleza umlilo ongcwele izihlandlo ezininzi, besa kukukhala koxolo, kwaza kukhaliswa igubu elikhulu. Ucele “umkhuseli wamanzi” ngamnye ukuba abe nesibindi ezintliziyweni zabo ukoyisa umsindo noloyiko kwaye aguqukele emthandazweni, nanjengoko amapolisa norhulumente bengazi ukuba bajongane njani nobundlobongela nomthandazo. Iinkokeli zacela ukuba kungabikho mntu uthatha iifoto zomsitho ongcwele xa amahashe engene kwisangqa.
Enye inkokeli yathi abantu bomthonyama baseMelika kufuneka baqale ukuxolela kunokuba balindele uxolo ngonyango lwabo ngurhulumente wase-US. Uxele kwangaphambili ukuba urhulumente wase-US soze acele uxolo kwaye ngaphandle kokuba amaMerika Omthonyama axolele intlungu ahlala kuyo, aya kuhlala enomsindo. “Ubomi bungcono ukuba umntu unokuxolela,” watsho. "Kufuneka sitshintshe kwaye kufuneka sitshintshe indlela esiphatha ngayo uMama woMhlaba."
Unyana wenkokeli yeAmerican Indian Movement (AIM) uRussell Means uxelele ngokuba kwinkampi yaseFront kwaye wabanjwa ngamapolisa njengoko wayekhusela ixhegokazi. Wathi uvakalelwa kukuba wayelubonile ubundlobongela ngaphambili, ukuba unyango lwamapolisa ngo-2016 “luqhelekile egazini lethu.” UMeans ukwakhumbuze wonke umntu ukuba ancede abakhuseli bamanzi abasebancinci abanobunzima bokumelana namava abo emapoliseni kwezi veki zimbini zidlulileyo.
Njengoko umsitho wawuphela malunga namashumi amathathu olutsha lweNavajo Hopi kunye nabaxhasi abadala bafika kwisangqa emva kokubaleka besuka eArizona. Ebuliswa sisikhalo esikhulu sabantu abali-1,000 15 ababekwisangqa, ulutsha lwamaHopi oneminyaka eli-150 ubudala e-sobs wathi, “Kwiminyaka eli-XNUMX eyadlulayo sanyanzeleka ukuba sibaleke kumakhaya ethu kodwa namhlanje siye sabaleka ukuya kunceda ukugcina ikhaya lakho kunye namakhaya ethu. umoya womthandazo, kodwa ukubonisa urhulumente ukuba akanakusenza sibaleke kwakhona.”
Njengoko ndandihamba ukusuka kwisangqa, inkosikazi endala yaseSioux yandixelela ukuba yayikwinkampu yaseFront Line mhla yatshatyalaliswayo. Wayehleli emthandazweni kwangena amapolisa, ahlasela abantu, ayichitha loo nkampu aza ambamba. Wathi uneenyanga ezintathu esenkampini yaye uza kuhlala de iphele inkampu. Entywizisa wathi, “Ngoku ndiphila ngendlela ababephila ngayo ookhokho bam…kwindalo yonke imini, yonke imihla, ekuhlaleni, ukusebenza kunye nokuthandaza kunye. Kudala ndilindele le ndibano ubomi bam bonke.”
