I nā palena o Sonora a me Chihuahua, kahi i hōʻike iki ʻole ai ka ʻāina mauna i ka hopena o nā kāne, ʻo Pimas haʻahaʻa, nā mamo o ka hui ʻōiwi i noho ma mua i kahi ʻāina kū ʻole nui, e noho ana i nā kaiāulu liʻiliʻi, mai ka hema o Sonora a i ka muliwai Gila. I ke kaʻina o ka naʻi aupuni a me ka noho ʻana, ua kaʻawale lākou mai ko lākou mau hoahānau, ka mea i loaʻa ko lākou puʻuhonua i ka wao nahele.
ʻO ka hoʻokaʻawale kahi i noho ai kēia mau kaiāulu kahi nui loa; Eia nō naʻe, i ka makahiki 1991 hiki mai ka Makua David José Beaumont e noho pū me lākou, a ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana iā lākou a me ke aʻo ʻana i ke ʻano o ke ola, ua loaʻa iā ia ka hilinaʻi.
Ua noho ʻo Makua David ma Yécora, Sonora, a mai laila ʻo ia i kipa aku ai i nā kaona o Los Pilares, El Kipor, Los Encinos a me La Dura hale a hale. Kaʻana like ka poʻe me ia i kā lākou mau moʻomeheu, kā lākou mōʻaukala, ko lākou manawa, kā lākou meaʻai; a ma kēia ʻano i hiki ai iā ia ke ʻike i kekahi o kāna mau kuʻuna a me kāna mau manaʻoʻiʻo i nalowale.
I kēlā manawa ua hele ʻo ia e kipa iā Yaquis a me Mayos o Sonora a me nā Pima o Chihuahua e aʻo e pili ana i kā lākou hana a hiki ke kōkua i nā Pima o Maycoba a me Yécora e hoʻopakele i kā lākou. Na Pima ponoʻī i haʻi aku i ka makuakāne he mau hulahula kā lākou, nā mele, nā hana, nā hana, a lākou i hoʻomanaʻo ʻole ai. No laila ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia i kahi hui kahu hānai ʻōiwi e ʻimi no ka poʻe āpau i mālama i nā hanana mai ka wā i hala i ko lākou hoʻomanaʻo ʻana, a ua hele lākou ma hope o nā kaʻao e hōʻike i ke ala e hoʻomaka hou ai a hoʻopakele i kā lākou moʻomeheu i poina.
Mai nā kiʻi i kū i nā ana e kū ana i nā wahi, kahi i hōʻike pinepine ʻia ai ka dia, ua hoʻopili nā kūpuna i kēia mau kiʻi me kahi hulahula a lākou e koi ai ua hana ʻia i waena o ko lākou mau kūpuna. I kēia manawa, ke lawe mai nei nā wahine Pima i ka Dance Venado i ko lākou wahi moʻomeheu ʻōiwi ma ke ʻano he mea nui loa.
KA EKALESIA O SAN FRANCISCO DE BORJA DE MAYCOBA
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hale pule kahiko o Maycoba me ka inoa o Kapalakiko de Borja i ka makahiki 1676. ʻO kāna mau mikionali mua nā Jesuit. ʻO lākou, i kā lākou hana euanelio i ka ʻāina, ua hoʻolauna i nā holoholona a me nā mea kanu like ʻole, a ua aʻo i nā ʻano mahiʻai i ka poʻe Pima.
Ma kahi o 1690 aia ke kipi o ka Tarahumara e kūʻē i ka poʻe Sepania; Puhi lākou i nā hale pule ʻo Maycoba a me Yécora a luku iā lākou i loko o ʻelua pule wale nō. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia inā kūkulu hou ʻia lākou a i ʻole inā waiho ʻia i nā wahi neoneo, ʻoiai mānoanoa nā paia adobe ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻopau loa ʻia. ʻO ka ʻāpana liʻiliʻi i hōʻino ʻia ua hoʻomau ʻia e nā makuakāne Jesuit a hiki i ka makahiki 1767, ke kipaku ʻia lākou mai Nu Sepania a hāʻawi ʻia nā mikionali Pima i ka lima o nā Franciscans.
OLELO HOU O KA EKALESIA HOU
Mai ka hiki ʻana o Makua David i Maycoba, ʻo ka mea a ka Pimas i noi nui aku ai iā ia e kūkulu hou i ka hale pule. No ka hoʻokō ʻana i kēia papahana, pono ʻo ia e huakaʻi i nā manawa he nui e ʻimi i ke kōkua kālā mai ke Federal Electricity Commission, INI, INAH, Nā Kūʻai Kaulana a me nā luna o ka hale pule Kakolika, a me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka palapala kūkulu hale a no nā mea kāhuna e hele mai e ʻike iā ia.
Ua kūkulu ʻia ka hale pule kahiko e nā lima o ka Pima ma 1676; na lākou iho i hana i nā adobes. No laila, ua hana hou ka makuakāne David e nā pimas o kēia manawa. Ma kahi o 5 tausani mau adobe e like me nā mea i hana mua ʻia me ka hana like o ke au i hala, e kūkulu i kahi ʻāpana mua o kahi hoʻāno. Ua lawe ʻia ke kinona kumu o ke kahua a mai laila ua ukali ʻia ke kūkulu hou ʻana: like ka nui a me ka mānoanoa o nā paia ma kahi o ʻelua mika ka laulā, me ke kiʻekiʻe he ʻekolu a me ka hapa mika. Ua ikaika ka hana a kēia mau Pima ma ke ʻano he mau mason, ʻo ia hoʻi no ka mea makemake lākou i ko lākou hale pule i kēia kenekulia, kahi o kā lākou kuʻuna e kokoke ana i ka make.
NA PUU PIMA KAHIKO
Ma kahi o 40 mau ana ma waena o ka ʻāina ma waena o Yécora a me Maycoba, kahi i noho ai nā Pima ma mua i ka wā i hala; ma laila lākou i hana ai i kā lākou pule a me kā lākou hana. Aia nō kekahi mau ʻohana e noho nei iā lākou. ʻIke ʻia nā koena o nā iwi, nā ipu hao, nā metate, nā hoʻohiki (moena), a me nā mea kūloko ʻē aʻe i loko o lākou; nā kanu kanu kahiko loa hoʻi, e like me kēlā ma Los Pilares, kahi i noho ai kahi ʻohana nui.
Aia nā ana nunui, a me nā mea liʻiliʻi, kahi e kūpono ai ke kino hoʻokahi. Ua laʻa lākou a pau, no ka mea mālama lākou i ko lākou wā i hala. Hele mākou i ʻekolu o lākou: ʻo ke ana ʻo Pinta, kahi e pena ʻia ai ke ana. Hiki ʻia i ke ala mai Yécora a hiki i Maycoba ma 20 km, komo ʻoe ma loko o Las Víboras a hema (ma ke ala lepo), a laila hele ʻoe ma nā māla o La Cebadilla, Los Horcones (30 mau minuke, ma kahi o 8 km); I ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i ka hale hānai ʻo Los Lajeros, haʻalele mākou i ke kaʻa a hele wāwae no hoʻokahi hola, ma waena o nā puʻu, nā mokulele a me nā pali kūpuna. I ka lā aʻe ua mākaʻikaʻi mākou i ʻelua mau ana hou ma ka pā holoholona ʻo Las Playits: i ka hele wāwae ʻana i hoʻokahi mile ua loaʻa iā mākou nā koena o kahi pima kahiko loa a mai laila aku mākou a i kahi mahiʻai ʻē aʻe kahi e noho ai ʻo Manu a me kāna wahine ʻo Bertha Campa Revilla, nā mea i alakaʻi iā mākou. Hele mākou i nā pali pālahalaha a i lalo, ʻike mākou i kahi muliwai liʻiliʻi i hana ʻia e lākou no nā pipi, kahi e makemake ai kahi ʻauʻau maikaʻi. ʻOiai paʻakikī e kiʻi i nā ana a pono kahi alakaʻi, maikaʻi e kuhikuhi he haleʻaina kā Manu a me Bertha ma ka Mulatos River, 26 km mai Yécora a hiki i Maycoba; Aia mau lākou ma laila, me kā lākou meaʻai ʻono: machaca, tortillas palaoa, pīni Sonoran, tī a me ka tī hou mai ka moku Chihuahua, a me ka mea inu maʻamau i kapa ʻia ʻo bacanora.
Holo LAAU MA KA MOKUAHI MAYCOBA ME YÉCORA
Mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kua ʻana o nā pine i kēia ʻāina (ke kamaʻilio nei mākou i nā makahiki i hala aku nei), ua ʻike ʻia kēia pilikia ma nā puʻu a me ke ola o nā mestizos a me nā ʻōiwi, ʻoiai ʻo ka nahele ka ola o nā Pima. I kēia manawa ua hala nā pine a ke hoʻomau nei lākou me kahi kumulāʻau makamae loa ma kēia wahi ʻo ka ʻoka, ka nui a me ka nani lua ʻole. Inā hoʻomau ka lāʻau ʻana, e pau nā ʻoka a me nā pine, a e ʻike wale mākou i nā mauna wao nahele a me ka luku ʻia ʻana o nā māmela, nā manu a me nā mea kolo. Inā luku ʻia kēia mau lāʻau hope, makaʻu ka wā e hiki mai ana ka poʻe Pima; e koi ʻia lākou e neʻe i nā kūlanakauhale nui e ʻike i ka hana.
KA LEGENDO PIMA MA KA HANA ANA O KA HONUA
Ua hana mua ke Akua i ka poʻe i ikaika loa a nui hoʻi, akā ʻaʻole nānā kēia poʻe i ke Akua. A laila hoʻopaʻi ke Akua iā lākou me ka wai (ke kahawai) a ua pau lākou. Hana hou ke Akua ia lakou, a nana hou ole na kanaka ia lakou; a laila hoʻouna ke Akua i ka Lā e iho i ka honua. Ke ʻōlelo nei ka moʻolelo, i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā ua hele nā kānaka e peʻe i nā ana e pale aku iā lākou iho mai ka puhi ʻia i ka make. No laila ke ola o nā iwi i nā ana. A laila hana hou ka poʻe, ʻo wai nā Pimas o kēia manawa, akā ʻōlelo lākou i ka holo ʻana o ka honua e like ka mea like: e iho ana ka Lā a puhi i nā mea āpau.
