Hesabu kwa Quakers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Asubuhi ya Oktoba 6, 2025, jua liliangaza sana katika anga safi, na upepo ulisababisha nyasi ndefu kwenye tambarare karibu na mji wa Concho, Oklahoma, eneo la watu wa Cheyenne na Arapaho. Mamia ya wanaume waliovaa kofia za ng’ombe na wanawake waliovaa mitandio walikusanyika kimya kimya karibu na tipi mbili, moja ya Cheyenne na nyingine ya Arapaho. Ndani ya tipi hizo kulikuwa na masanduku makubwa ya mbao yaliyofunikwa kwa blanketi. Zilikuwa na mabaki ya watoto waliokufa katika Shule ya Viwanda ya Wahindi ya Carlisle huko Pennsylvania zaidi ya karne moja mapema. Watoto walikuwa wamerudishwa nyumbani hatimaye. <\/p>\n\n

Polepole, waombolezaji waliingia kwenye tipi, wakiacha viatu nje, na kuzunguka kupita masanduku, kila moja ikiwa imeandikwa jina la mtoto. Masanduku kumi na mawili yalikuwa kwenye tipi ya Cheyenne, manne kwenye tipi ya Arapaho. Maafisa wa kikabila walikuwa wamepitia miaka ya mazungumzo na Jeshi la Merika kuleta watoto hawa 16 nyumbani kutoka Chuo cha Vita cha Jeshi la Merika huko Carlisle, Pennsylvania, mahali pa shule ya zamani. Wanafamilia na maafisa wa kikabila walisafiri kwenda Carlisle na kufanya sherehe kwenye makaburi kabla ya kufukuliwa. Jeshi liliweka mabaki ya watoto kwenye masanduku ya mbao yaliyoandikwa na kuwapeleka kwa makabila huko Oklahoma. Kwenye tipi, walichukuliwa chini ya uangalizi wa wanachama wa Cheyenne wa Wanajeshi wa Mbwa na Jumuiya za Bowstring, na na wanaume wa sherehe wa Arapaho. <\/p>\n\n

Sisi wanawake wawili wa Quaker tulikuwa miongoni mwa mamia ya watu waliokusanyika karibu na tipi. Tulikuwa tumealikwa kuunganisha miaka 155 ya historia ya Quaker na watu wa Cheyenne na Arapaho. Kama wanachama wa Mtandao wa Utafiti wa Shule za Bweni za Wahindi na Quakers (QIBS), tumekuwa tukifanya utafiti juu ya majukumu ambayo Quakers walicheza katika uingizaji wa kulazimishwa wa watoto Wenyeji kupitia uendeshaji wa shule za bweni za Wahindi. <\/p>\n\n

Paula Keeth alifanya utafiti haswa juu ya shule za bweni za Quaker zilizohifadhiwa kwa ajili ya vijana wa Cheyenne na Arapaho, ambazo zilifanya kazi kutoka 1871 hadi 1881. Shule ya kwanza ilikuwa na wanafunzi wa Arapaho na Cheyenne. Ilifadhiliwa na serikali ya shirikisho ya Merika na Kamati Tendaji Iliyounganishwa ya Marafiki kuhusu Masuala ya Wahindi, shirika la Mikutano ya Kila Mwaka tisa ya Orthodox. Walimu, wasimamizi, na walimu wa viwanda walikuwa Quakers wote. Mtaala ulijumuisha hesabu, kusoma na kuandika kwa Kiingereza, na mafunzo ya ufundi katika kilimo na ufugaji wa mifugo kwa wavulana na sanaa za nyumbani kwa wasichana. Kazi ya watoto ilichangia matengenezo ya shule. Uandikishaji uliongezeka kutoka 35 mwaka 1871 hadi 150 mwaka 1879, wakati shule tofauti ilijengwa maili chache kutoka hapo kwa ajili ya Cheyenne. Quakers walifanya kazi shule za bweni tofauti kwa miaka miwili tu, kisha wakageuza usimamizi kwa Wamenonaiti na hatimaye kwa serikali ya shirikisho. <\/p>\n\n

Wakati wa karne ya kumi na tisa, madhehebu mengi ya Kikristo yaliendesha shule za bweni za Wahindi kwa kushirikiana na sera ya serikali ya shirikisho ya uingizaji wa kulazimishwa. Malengo ya Quakers yalikuwa wazi kuwafanya watoto waingie: kuwaongoza \u201ckwenye maisha ya juu kuliko yale ambayo wamezoea katika hali yao ya porini,\u201d kulingana na ripoti ya 1875 kwa Bodi ya Makamishna wa Wahindi. Quakers wakati huo waliamini mataifa ya Wenyeji yalikuwa jamii duni ambayo ingepotea hivi karibuni. Tumaini lao lilikuwa \u201ckuwaokoa\u201d watoto kwa kuwatenganisha na familia zao na kuwafundisha njia \u201cbora\u201d za Wakristo wa Euro-Amerika. Ikiwa walikuwa na hisia zozote za madhara waliyokuwa wakiwasababishia watoto, familia zao, na makabila, madhara hayo yalionekana kuwa muhimu kidogo kwao kuliko lengo la kuwafanya watu Wenyeji kuwa kile Quakers walichokiita \u201craia muhimu.\u201d (Ili kujifunza zaidi kuhusu shule 30 za bweni za Wahindi zinazoendeshwa na Quaker na jinsi mikutano inavyochukua hatua za urekebishaji, tembelea f<\/em>riendspeaceteams.org\/trr<\/em><\/a>.) <\/p>\n\n

Mtandao wa utafiti wa QIBS ulituma matokeo ya utafiti wa Keeth kwa maafisa wa kikabila wa Arapaho na Cheyenne Fred Mosqueda na Chester Whiteman katika Muungano wa Kitaifa wa Uponyaji wa Shule za Bweni za Wenyeji wa Amerika (NABS). Wote wawili husaidia kutekeleza Sheria ya Kulinda Makaburi ya Wenyeji wa Amerika na Kurudisha Nyumbani kama maafisa wa NAGPRA wa kabila lao. Pia wanahudumu mtawalia kama wataalamu wa ufikiaji wa Arapaho na Cheyenne kwa idara za lugha na utamaduni za kabila lao. <\/p>\n\n

Lakini hadithi haikuishia mwaka 1881 wakati shule za Quaker zilifungwa. J.D. Miles, wakala wa Quaker Indian anayesimamia Wakala wa Cheyenne-Arapaho, alibaki katika wadhifa wake wa serikali hadi 1884. Katika miaka yake minne ya mwisho, alisaini karatasi za uhamisho zilizowapeleka vijana 227 wa Arapaho na Cheyenne kwenda Carlisle. <\/p>\n\n

Katika Hifadhi ya Kitaifa huko Fort Worth, Texas, Keeth alipata kitabu kilichoandika majina ya watoto hawa, majina ya baba zao, makabila yao, na tarehe za uhamisho wao kwenda na kurudi kutoka Carlisle. Watoto kumi kati ya wale waliotumwa Carlisle na J.D. Miles hawakurudi kamwe. Watoto tisa walikufa katika taasisi hiyo na walizikwa kwenye makaburi; kijana mmoja alikufa akiishi na familia huko Reedsville, Pennsylvania, na amezikwa huko. Keeth na mwanachama mwenzake wa QIBS Andrew Grant walifanya kazi na wahifadhi kumbukumbu katika Kituo cha Rasilimali Dijitali cha Shule ya Wahindi ya Carlisle cha Chuo cha Dickinson na Jumuiya ya Kihistoria ya Oklahoma ili kujifunza kadiri walivyoweza kuhusu watoto hawa. Grant anafanya utafiti zaidi juu ya njia zote ambazo Marafiki waliunga mkono misheni ya uingizaji wa Carlisle kama wafadhili, walimu, na wafanyakazi. Hatua inayofuata itakuwa kujifunza kuhusu mawakala wengine wa Quaker Indian ambao wanaweza kuwa wamewahamisha watoto kwenda shule za serikali. <\/p>\n\n

Keeth na Grant waligundua kuwa kati ya watoto 16 ambao mabaki yao yalirudishwa kwa makabila mnamo Oktoba iliyopita, vijana wawili wa Arapaho na watano wa Cheyenne walikuwa wametumwa Carlisle na Wakala wa Quaker Indian J.D. Miles. Vijana wa Arapaho ambao waliletwa nyumbani walikuwa Leah Roadtraveller na Wah-she-he. Vijana wa Cheyenne walikuwa Giles Hands, Motavito Horse, Lou Thunder, Dora Morning, na Charles White Shield. Walikuwa na umri kati ya miaka 12 hadi 18 wakati wa vifo vyao. Sababu ya kifo haikurekodiwa mara chache. <\/p>\n\n

Paula Keeth anahisi karibu na hadithi hii kwa sababu ya utafiti alioufanya. Paula Palmer ana uhusiano wa ziada. Mnamo 2016, alianzisha shirika la mitaa linaloitwa Uhusiano Sahihi Boulder (RRB). Dhamira yake ni kujenga uhusiano na Watu Wenyeji ambao waliondolewa kwa nguvu kutoka Bonde la Boulder\u2014Arapaho na Cheyenne\u2014na kuwakaribisha kurudi katika nchi yao ya Bonde la Boulder. Alitembelea makabila ya Oklahoma mwaka 2017, na urafiki wa kibinafsi umekua kupitia karibu muongo mmoja wa miradi na shughuli za ushirikiano. Marafiki wa Boulder hutoa michango ya kifedha ya kila mwaka kusaidia baadhi ya juhudi hizi. Kupitia urafiki wake na maafisa wa kikabila wa Arapaho na Cheyenne Fred Mosqueda na Chester Whiteman, Palmer alihisi angeweza kuuliza ikiwa uwepo wa Quaker wakati wa sherehe za Oktoba \u201cKurudi Nyumbani kwa Carlisle\u201d ungekaribishwa. Walimhakikishia kuwa itakuwa hivyo. Fred Mosqueda alimwambia, \u201cKabla ya kupokea ripoti zako, tulikuwa tumeona tu majina ya watoto kwenye sensa, na kisha walitoweka. Hatukujua kilichowapata. Ulisaidia kutafuta watoto wetu na kuwarudisha nyumbani. Asante kwa kuja.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Arapaho ya Kusini (Hinono’ei <\/em>katika lugha yao) na Cheyenne ya Kusini (Tsistsistas<\/em>) ni <\/s> mataifa tofauti ya kikabila chini ya muundo mmoja wa utawala ambao ulitambuliwa na shirikisho <\/s> serikali mwaka 1937: Makabila ya Cheyenne na Arapaho ya Oklahoma, yenye makao makuu huko Concho, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n\n

Sisi Paula wawili tuliendesha gari pamoja kutoka Dallas, Texas, hadi Concho mnamo Oktoba 5. Mnamo alasiri, tulipata tipi za Cheyenne na Arapaho ambazo zilisimama chini ya kilima kutoka eneo la mazishi lililozungushiwa uzio. Chester Whiteman, ambaye anahudumu kama mkuu wa Wanajeshi wa Mbwa wa Cheyenne na Jumuiya za Bowstring, alitualika kuingia kwenye tipi ya Cheyenne. Tulifanya hivyo kwa heshima, tukisimama kwa muda kwenye kila sanduku lililofunikwa na blanketi ili kutambua majina ya watoto tuliyoyajua. Kwenye tipi ya Arapaho, Fred Mosqueda, ambaye pamoja na mkewe, Mary, wanajiita \u201cwatu wa kuomba,\u201d alitualika kuingia kwenye tipi na kutafakari kwa muda. Ilikuwa vizuri kuwa na watoto katika utulivu. <\/p>\n\n

Viti vilivyopambwa na zawadi kwa kila mtoto aliyerudishwa vinatazama hadhira kwenye wake. Picha na Susan Hart Ma\u2019heoneeestse\u2019e. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Saa 6 jioni hiyo, tuliandamana na Chifu wa Arapaho Elvin Kenrick na mkewe, Susan, hadi kwenye wake. Katika chumba kikubwa cha kusanyiko, viti 16 vilitazama hadhira, kila kimoja kimepambwa kwa kumbukumbu ya vijana 16 waliorejeshwa. Safu ya wasemaji walikaa nyuma ya viti hivi, na tulishangaa kuongozwa kukaa nao. Tulikuwa tumeambiwa kuwa itakuwa vizuri kwetu kuzungumza kwenye wake: kuwaambia familia kwa nini Quakers ni sehemu ya hadithi hii, lakini hatukugundua kuwa tungeorodheshwa kwenye programu kama wasemaji. Wake ilifunguliwa na sala, ikifuatiwa na nyimbo za kumbukumbu za Cheyenne na Arapaho, nyimbo za Kikristo za Cheyenne na Arapaho, na maneno kutoka kwa gavana Reggie Wassana; Luteni Gavana Hershel Gorham; na Larenda Morgan, mwenyekiti wa Watu Wenyeji Waliopotea na Waliouawa. Amanda Cheromiah (Laguna Pueblo) alizungumza kwa niaba ya Kituo cha Mustakabali wa Watu Wenyeji katika Chuo cha Dickinson, ambacho kiliandaa familia za Arapaho na Cheyenne kwenye ziara zao Carlisle. <\/p>\n\n

Tulipoitwa kuzungumza, tulisoma kutoka kwa barua tuliyokuwa tumetuma mapema kwa familia za Arapaho na Cheyenne na maafisa wa kikabila. Kwa sehemu, ilisomeka: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Tunaomboleza vifo vya watoto hawa, tukijua kwamba matendo ya watangulizi wetu wa Quaker yanahusika angalau kwa sehemu. Tunaomba radhi sana kwa madhara na hasara ambazo watu wa Arapaho na Cheyenne wamepatwa nazo. Tukihisi majuto haya, tunatumai kwa unyenyekevu kujenga uhusiano mpya na makabila, kwa kuzingatia ukweli, heshima, haki, na ubinadamu wetu wa pamoja. Katika roho hii, tuko nanyi hapa leo. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Kisha, kwa machozi mengi na kumbatio, wanafamilia wa kila mtoto waliomboleza jamaa zao marehemu na kusoma kumbukumbu za vifo. Miongoni mwa taarifa nyingi za kusisimua sana, tunakumbuka hizi: <\/p>\n\n

\n

\u201cInasikitisha sana kujua jinsi watoto hawa walivyokuwa wameogopa na wapweke, mbali sana na nyumbani. Ni vigumu kujua jinsi walivyotendewa vibaya. Lakini walikuwa wamejuana.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHatulii tu kwa sababu ya mateso ya watoto, lakini pia tukikumbuka uchungu wa wazazi wao, ndugu, na babu, watoto walipochukuliwa kutoka kwao. Hawangeweza kujua kilichokuwa kikiwapata watoto. Hakukuwa na njia ambayo wangeweza kuwafariji. Hakuna njia ambayo wangeweza kusaidia. Wangewezaje kuvumilia uchungu huo?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNimesikia ikisemwa kwamba kila mtu hufa mara mbili. Ya kwanza ni kifo cha mwili. Ya pili ni mara ya mwisho jina la mtu linasemwa. Nadhani watoto hawa wataishi kwa muda mrefu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWatoto wetu hawapaswi kamwe kuchukuliwa kutoka kwetu, kuibiwa kutoka kwetu. Inaniumiza; inanikasirisha. Watoto hawa wangeweza kuwa nani? Kupotea kwao ni hasara kwa kabila zima. Bado tunateseka na matokeo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWatoto wetu wako nyumbani sasa. Wako nyumbani! Ilikuwa safari ngumu. Asante kwa kila mtu aliyesaidia kuwarudisha nyumbani kupumzika.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Baadhi ya vijana hawakuwa na wanafamilia waliokuwepo kwenye wake, kwa hivyo wengine walisoma kumbukumbu za vifo kwa ajili yao. Ingawa hawakuwa wanafamilia kwa maana ya kawaida, walizungumza kwa hisia kali, wakiwakumbatia vijana kama familia. Wake ilimalizika na sala ya kufunga. <\/p>\n\n

Asubuhi iliyofuata, pamoja na mamia ya waombolezaji, tuliwafuata Chester Whiteman na wanaume wa jamii ya kijeshi ya Cheyenne, ambao, kwa ngoma na kuimba, waliwabeba watoto 12 wa Cheyenne juu ya kilima hadi eneo la mazishi lililozungushiwa uzio. Kabla ya masanduku kushushwa kwenye makaburi, wanafamilia waliweka zawadi juu yao ili kuandamana na watoto kwenye safari yao ya mwisho. Tuliweka zawadi zetu kwenye masanduku pia: T-shirt kwa kila mtoto na muundo wa maua ya Rocky Mountain, kukumbusha nchi yao ya Colorado. Masanduku yaliposhushwa, tulipita, tukiongeza konzi ya udongo mwekundu kwenye kila kaburi. Chester Whiteman alitafakari juu ya sherehe hiyo, \u201cNi wakati wa furaha jinsi gani, baada ya miaka mingi, kwa mababu zetu hatimaye kurudi nyumbani kupumzika.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Wanaume wa sherehe wa Arapaho kisha waliwabeba watoto wa Arapaho kutoka kwenye tipi hadi eneo la mazishi, wakipiga ngoma na kuimba Wimbo wa Tai wa Arapaho. Tulipoweka zawadi kwenye masanduku manne ya Arapaho, waliimba Wimbo wa Kumbukumbu wa Arapaho, na Fred Mosqueda na mwanawe waliimba Wimbo wa Kusafiri wa Arapaho ambao huimbwa tu kwenye mazishi. Wimbo wa mwisho ulikuwa Wimbo wa Kumbukumbu ya Chifu wa Arapaho kwa sababu, Mosqueda alisema, watoto wote wanne wa Arapaho walitoka kwa machifu. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWatoto zaidi watarudi nyumbani kwetu,\u201d Mosqueda alituambia. \u201cTunawatafuta, na tutawatunza.\u201d Mtoto mwingine wa Arapaho aliyekufa alipokuwa akihudhuria shule ya bweni ya Wahindi inayoendeshwa na Quaker huko West Branch, Iowa, anabaki kwenye makaburi huko baada ya Fred na Mary Mosqueda kutembelea na kuomba kwenye kaburi hilo mnamo 2024. \u201cAtakuwa salama huko,\u201d Mosqueda alisema. Watafiti wa QIBS wanatuma habari kuhusu watoto waliokufa katika shule zingine za Quaker kwa makabila yao na kwa Muungano wa Kitaifa wa Uponyaji wa Shule za Bweni za Wenyeji wa Amerika. <\/p>\n\n

Tafakari za Kibinafsi <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Paula Keeth: Ilikuwa heshima kubwa kwetu kushuhudia marejesho haya. Hatukuwa tu wasio Wenyeji lakini Quakers ambao mababu zao wa kiroho walihusika katika kila nyanja ya kuingiza shule za bweni. Niliheshimiwa kuzungumza na wanafamilia na kuuliza, \u201cMzee wako alikuwa nani?\u201d Jamaa wa Elsie Davis alishiriki kile alichokuwa amejifunza kumhusu akikua na kushiriki picha za familia nami. Nilipata habari za mawasiliano kwa wanafamilia kadhaa na nikaahidi nitawatumia habari za ziada. Wote walikuwa na hamu ya kujua zaidi. <\/p>\n\n

Paula Palmer: Tulikuwa tumevaa nguo kwa heshima, ingawa nguo ni mavazi yasiyo ya kawaida kwa sisi wote wawili. Labda hiyo ilifanya iwe rahisi kwangu kuhisi kuwepo hapo kama Rafiki wa karne ya kumi na tisa na pia kama mimi mwenyewe wakati huu. Ilionekana kuwa muhimu kuunganisha miaka 155 ya historia iliyoshirikiwa kati ya Arapaho, Cheyenne, na Quakers. Kupitia utafiti wetu, tumejifunza Quakers walikuwa nani wakati huo, na jinsi matendo yao yameenea kupitia karne nyingi. Sasa tunauliza: Quakers ni nani leo? Ni hatua gani tunachukua sasa, na zitaenea vipi katika siku zijazo? <\/p>\n\n

Fred Mosqueda na Chester Whiteman wa Makabila ya Cheyenne na Arapaho wote walionyesha shukrani na walitoa idhini yao ya makala hii.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
