ULeJeune Chavez uthe, lolu cezu ngilubiza ngokuthi “umgexo ocatshangelwe kabusha we-Thunderbird.”“Ngasebenzisa ubuhlalu obuncane obusikiwe obungosayizi 13 no-15 ukuze ngithole imininingwane ye-thunderbird.Imibala engiyisebenzisile imele amagugu asetshenziswa kumgexo we-thunderbird yase-Santo Domingo Pueblo ngeminyaka yawo-1920s kanye nawo-1930s.”(Ngokuhlonishwa nguLejeune Chavez)
Iciko lase-Santo Domingo Pueblo (Kiva) lihlanganise ubuhlalu, itshe nesiliva ukuze lenze amatheyiphu amancanyana engilazi.
Ngenxa yobhubhane lwe-swaia.org, uChavez ubengomunye wabaculi abangama-450 abangena emakethe ebonakalayo yemakethe yaseNdiya yaseSanta Fe.
Emsebenzini wakhe, amakhulu obuhlalu obuncane bungase buzungeza isiyingi setshe eliluhlaza phezu kwesembozo sesiliva esimbozwe uthingo oluluhlaza.Izinkulungwane zezinhlobo zingase zibe imigexo yezinyoni ze-thunderbird, futhi amakhulu ayo angase abe ama-cuffs esikhumba senyamazane.Abanye bagxumela ezimpikweni zikajekamanzi.UChavez wabhoboza futhi wangena inaliti ebuhlaluni.Umyeni wakhe uJoe usebenza ngesiliva.
UChavez wasebenzisa isikhathi sokuzihlukanisa yedwa ukuze azame imiklamo angakaze ayizame.
Uthe: “Bengilokhu ngifuna ukusebenzisa ubuhlalu (Thunderbird).”“Ngicabanga ukuthi lesi yisikhathi engizokwenza ngaso.Ngisebenzisa ubuhlalu obuncane ukusuka ku-13 ukuya ku-15. Uma inombolo inkulu, buncane ubuhlalu.
Ama-cuffs anobuhlalu ka-LeJeune Chavez afaka uphawu lwe-Santo Domingo Pueblo Thunderbird njengento yokuklama.Wathi: “Ngasebenzisa ubuhlalu obunobukhulu obungu-13 no-15 obusikwe baba ubuhlalu obuncane, futhi ngaklama izinyoni zezulu, amafu nojekamanzi nhlangothi zombili zama-cuffs anobuhlalu.”Ama-cuffs izikhumba zenyamazane "zesikhumba sentuthu".
Amaciko e-Santo Domingo enze imigexo ye-thunderbird yendabuko esuka emabhokisini amabhethri amadala ngesikhathi Sokuwohloka Okukhulu Komnotho kanye namarekhodi aqoshiwe.U-Chavez usebenzisa iphalethi yendabuko yemibala eyinhloko ukuhlanganisa ubuhlalu bakhe, nobuhlalu bengilazi obuncane njengohlamvu lukasawoti wase-kosher.
Wathi: “Ngikhumbula ngenza amasongo amancane ngentambo kakotini kanye nalobo buhlalu obukhulu.”“Ngazifaka ebhokisini lezicathulo, ngaya kumakhelwane, ngazama ukuzidayisa.”
Lapho efunda esikoleni okuhlalwa kuzo eCalifornia, waqhubeka nokumaketha.Wadayisela abasebenzi kanye nomnyuziyamu wesikole umsebenzi.
Ngemva kokuphothula esikoleni esiphakeme, uChavez wathola umsebenzi enkampanini yocingo yaseSanta Fe.Bese kuba yisikhathi sokuhambisa.
Uthe: “Ngavele nganquma ukuyeka umsebenzi wami ukuze ngiziphilise ngobuhlalu.”“Lokho kwenzeka eminyakeni engu-30 edlule.”
Umyeni wakhe wayeka umsebenzi wakhe wokuba usonkontileka ukuze athathe umsebenzi osiliva.UChavez uhlongoze umbono wokuhlanganisa lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zobuciko.
Wabiza i-pendant turquoise, ezungezwe ubuhlalu obuluhlaza ku-bezel embozwe ngesiliva, obubizwa ngokuthi “ubuhlalu besiliva.”
Uthe: “Ngithanda ukubiza le misebenzi yethu eyingqophamlando ngoba akekho owenza lolu hlobo lomsebenzi.”
Umgexo oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka onobuhlalu ubhangqa amaphethini ayinkimbinkimbi ka-Chavez netshe elilodwa le-Kingman eli-turquoise.
Wamamatheka wayesethi: “Umyeni wami nguye owasika amatshe, ngakho ngithinte amathonsi ambalwa etsheni.”Lesi siqeshana sihlanganisa ne-jet frit eyodwa kanye nendandatho ehambayo, ngakho-ke ingasetshenziswa njengependant.Ubuye wengeza ubuhlalu bekristalu begolide be-Swarovski.
UChavez uthe: “Angizange ngizenzele owami umklamo.“Ngakubona engqondweni yami, njengokungathi ngidweba ubuhlalu.”
Ekhuluma ngokuphela kwalolu bhubhane, uthe: “Ekuqaleni ngashaqeka kancane, wonke umuntu unje.
“Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi sonke singabaculi abazisebenzayo, siyakwazi ukuhlanganisa imisebenzi yethu yansuku zonke.Lolu uhlobo lwethu lokwelapha.
“Ngiyabakhumbula abavakashi beSanta Fe,” waqhubeka.“Ngiyabukhumbula ubucwebe bethu, ukuthinta kanye nokuzizwa.Kodwa okwamanje, yile ndlela okufanele sihambe ngayo.”
