Zita rangu ndinonzi Anna Dwyer uye ndiri mukadzi wechiKarajarri uye muridzi wetsika kubva kuBidyadanga Aboriginal Community kuKarajarri Country - iri makiromita angangoita 190 kumaodzanyemba kweBroome mudunhu reKimberley kuWestern Australia. Ndakazvarirwa kuBroome, zvisinei mumazuva ekutanga eBidyadanga kiriniki yehutano yakanga isipo panguva iyoyo saka Amai, sevamwe vanaamai vese, vaifanira kutamira kuBroome kuYawuru Country, kuti vabereke vana vavo. Vanhu vanobva kuNyika/nharaunda dzakasiyana-siyana mudunhu iri vaiva nemisasa yavo midiki kunyanya pedyo neBroome.
Nzvimbo yeAnne Street Reserve yakatanga kuma1960 nekuma70 uye ndakapedza nguva yakawanda yehudiki hwangu panzvimbo iyi. Kufanana nevamwe vazhinji, mhuri yedu yaigara muimba diki yakagadzirwa nesimbi yatinoidaidza kuti 'Shack' uye mudumba iri maiva nemakamuri maviri, imba yekugezera yekunze ine dzimba 6 dzaikwana dzimba gumi nembiri, 6 kumativi ese. Takanga tisina chitofu mudzimba chekubikira chikafu chedu saka nguva yakawanda uye kune vazhinji vedu kusanganisira amai vangu taibika chikafu panze mukicheni yedu yemusango. Amai vangu pavanobika chikafu unogona kunhuhwirira kunhuhwirira mumhepo kunyanya hove yakabikwa, kamba nemupunga. Chikafu ichi chaisanganisira kugovana chikafu pakati pedu tese uye kana taiva nezvakawanda zvasara zvaizogovaniswa kune dzimwe mhuri dziri mudumba iri.
Vazhinji vaigara panzvimbo iyi vane zvavaiyeuka uye vachiri kutaura nezvenyaya dzavo, nziyo dzavo neushamwari hwavo nanhasi. Ini pachangu, ndinogona kuyeuka kuti zvakaita kuti tinzwe rugare nemufaro - pasinei nehurombo . Kunyangwe takabva munharaunda dzakasiyana nemapoka emitauro, zvaive zvakaita sekugara pamwe chete nhasi, uye zvakashanda zvakanaka kune vazhinji vedu.
Saka, zvainge zvakaita sei kwauri pawaigara ipapo Anna?
Ndaida hudiki hwangu uye semwana ndaifarira kutamba nevamwe vese, kuita zvechisimba, kuva nemhuri dzakawanda neshamwari dzakandipoteredza kunyanya vanun'una vangu nevanun'una vangu. Taigovana zvese zvataiva nazvo, takavaka ma cubbies mumota dzakaputsika uye pamwe taitsamwisa vakuru! Ndinofunga ndipo pandakatanga kuteerera nekunzwa mimwe mitauro yechiAboriginal inotaurwa munharaunda izvo zvakandipa mukana wekunzwisisa nekudzidza mazwi akasiyana emitauro. Pandaiva mwana mudiki kuchikoro, ndakadzidza kindy nepuraimari, zvisinei chikoro ichocho chanyangarika, ndikazodzidza gore rangu rechitanhatu nerechinomwe kuchikoro chainzi St Marys pedyo neChechi yekare yeKaturike muBroome, icho chakanyangarikawo zvakare.
Zvisinei, makore achifamba, ndakawedzera chikoro changu mugiredhi rechi8, rechi9, neregumi paBroome District High School yekare. Ndakazoenderera mberi nekuenda kuPundulmurra TAFE College muSouth Headland munharaunda yePilbara, makiromita angangoita 600 kubva ipapo, asi 'chete' makiromita 440 kumaodzanyemba kweBidyadanga. Ndakaita kosi yedzidzo 'yakajairika' ikoko. Semwana ane makore 16 ekuberekwa ndaiva nenyadzi uye ndaizvininipisa zvikuru, izvo zvakaramba zvichienderera mberi muhupenyu hwangu hwese hwekukura (asi kwete ikozvino!).
Pandinotarira shure ndofunga nezvehupenyu hwangu hwekare, ndinoona kuti pakanga pasina chinhu chakadai semazano ebasa, pasina vapi vemazano, ruzivo, kana kurudziro yekutsvaga mikana yebasa kana kufambira mberi pakufunga nezvemikana yeramangwana. Saka - ndakangoita zvandaigara ndichiita zvakanakisisa, ndakazvigadzirira nzira yangu, uye zvishoma nezvishoma ndakasvika pandiri nhasi.
Chii chakatevera ipapo - kupinda mubasa?
Gare gare muhupenyu hwangu, ndakashanda mumasangano akawanda muKimberley nenzvimbo dziri kure kwandakadzidza hunyanzvi hutsva, ndaitora mabasa makuru, ndaisangana nevanhu uye ndainyanya kuvaka chivimbo changu. Makore nekufamba kwenguva, ndaiziva kuti ndaiva nezvakawanda zvandaifanira kuita kumhuri dzangu dzepedyo nenharaunda, kwandakaona kuti ndaidanwa kuti ndibatsire vanhu vechiAboriginal vasina mutauro weChirungu wakanaka, chero mutauro unotaurwa uye/kana neruzivo rwakanyorwa rwaidiwa. Unofanira kunzwisisa kuti vanhu vazhinji vemunharaunda dziri kure vane mitauro mitatu kana mina, Chirungu chiri chekupedzisira. Saka, ndakava 'nzira pakati pevanhu' - kunzwa kunzwa kwakasimba kwekuve wemhuri uye kubata nharaunda pamwe chete nevanhu vandaitsigira.
Rwendo urwu rwakakura mandiri, uye apa ndipo pandakava nepfungwa yemhuri, yepedyo neyerefu, iyo yave, uye icharamba ichikosha kwandiri zvechokwadi. Saka, kumhuri yangu yepedyo kubva kuna amai vangu, vaive Matriarch wezvizvarwa zvishanu uye nekudaro ndinobva mumhuri yakakura kashanu pane timu yenhabvu. Muna 2020 amai vangu vakafa uye ndinofunga nezvavo zvakanyanya, vaive kurasikirwa kukuru. Zvisinei, ndicharamba ndichimuziva seNgirozi yangu inondichengeta semureri saamai, vaisanwa doro kana kusvuta, uye vaive mukadzi ane chinzvimbo chepamusoro maererano netsika dzechiKarajarri. Chinokosha ndechekuti, vaitaura mutauro wavo zvakanaka, uye hutungamiriri hwavo hwaive hwakasimba, hwakabatana zvikuru nemhemberero dzechivanhu, tsika nekunzwisisa nyika yavo. Amai vangu vaive mudzidzisi wetsika dzechisikigo uye 'muenzaniso wekutevedzera' - nzira dzavo dzekutarisira nekugovana dzekugovana zvakaitika kwavari, dzakavawo zvakafanana neni.
Baba vangu vaiva murume mukuru vakashayawo makore makumi maviri apfuura. Ivowo ndivo vakandikurudzira, kuburikidza neruzivo rwavo rwekutanga nekunzwisisa tsika dzechiKarajarri, nyika netsika. Ndinoyeuka pazera remakore masere baba vangu vakandiudza kuti "rimwe zuva ndichava munhu mukuru", ndinogona kunzwisisa izvi ikozvino. Ndakanga, uye ndiri kudanwa, kubatsira vanhu pandinogona, kunyangwe pandinenge ndiri kubasa - hapana chakachinja zvakanyanya kunyangwe nhasi - ndinongobatanidza basa, vana/vazukuru, uye mumwe wangu wekuNyika. Ndinofunga kuti zvese zviitiko zvandinotakura zviri pasi pechiratidzo chekuremekedza vanhu uye kukoshesa hupenyu.
Shoko kune vese, "Nzira yangu yakanga yakasiyana neyavakawanda - 'Ndakazviita nenzira yangu' inouya mupfungwa dzangu. Kana vanhu vachida kutsvaga ruzivo rwakadzama kana kuti vachida kuziva zvakawanda, ndinokurudzira kuti vatsvage vamwe vanogona kuvapa mazano kuburikidza nemaitiro akawanda anoita sechibage pakutanga. Hapana kumhanya-mhanya - INGOITAI" Anna Dwyer.

Saka ikozvino ndiri kuifarira - kutsvagisa!
Izvozvo zvinoshamisa Anna - saka ungati chii kune chero ani zvake anofarira zvidzidzo zvepamusoro, uye pamwe nekuita tsvakurudzo, asingafungi kuti 'vakangwara zvakakwana'?
Sezvambotaurwa, handisisiri munhu anonyara, asi ndinoramba ndichinzwa kuzvininipisa - saka ndachinja izvi kuita kukurudzira nekutsigira nhengo dzemhuri yangu, shamwari uye chero ani zvake anoda kudzidza kuyunivhesiti kana kutokurudzira avo kuti vawane mabasa pano paBroome Campus.
