UBUNTU iwukufakwa kobuciko bomphakathi obuthile obunamasayithi amaningi obusebenzisa ifilosofi yomdabu yesisekelo sika-Ubuntu esithi I Am, We Are. UBUNTU umbukiso uphinda uguqule umbhalo wekhampasi ye-CSULB ibe umhlabathi ovundile wokubuyisana 'nesikhathi esidlule sobandlululo lwabamhlophe futhi iphinde ibone kabusha ukulingana, ikusasa elibandakanyayo, nelihlukahlukene kubo bonke. Izindawo ze-CSULB yizindawo I-LA 5 Plaza equkethe i- Gathering proposal code ye-QR, umcimbi wokushaya izigubhu owenziwa yi-American Indian Studies Inter-Tribal Drummers (AISITD), kanye ne-KCAM Pavilion ehlola inkululeko yomuntu yokukhuluma odongeni ( HFOSW ) ukuqoshwa kwevidiyo, kanye ne UBUNTU Monument .
UBUNTU umbukiso usicela ukuthi sibone ukubaluleka kanye nenani lokuphila komuntu ngamunye, ukuze sikwazi ukuzibona emiphakathini esihlala kuyo. Umthetho weNauri othi Umuntu Ngumuntu Ngbatu usho ukuthi "umuntu ngumuntu ngenxa noma ngabanye." Ifilosofi ka-Ubuntu iphakamisa ukuthi "um-Afrika akayena umuntu onolaka, kodwa umuntu ohlala emphakathini." Ezweni lanamuhla, kungenxa yokuhlakulela umphakathi wobumbano kuphela lapho indlala, ukuhlukaniswa, ukuswela, ubumpofu, nanoma yiziphi izinselele ezivelayo kungasinda ngenxa yokukhathazeka komphakathi ngomunye nomunye. UNelson Mandela uchaza Ubuntu "njengefilosofi eyakha iqiniso elihlanganisayo, indlela yokuphila, eyakha umphakathi ovulekile." Okunye okufanayo phakathi komcabango womdabu waseNdiya waseMelika noBuntu ukubaluleka kokukhulisa umphakathi oqaphelayo. Ukwazi ngokwemvelo kufuna ukuzazi endaweni okuzungezile, leli qiniso elixhumanisayo lihambisana nazo zombili izimfundiso eziphakamisa ukuthi kufanele sicabangele ukuthi esikwenzayo kuzonika amandla noma kunikeze amandla umphakathi osizungezile futhi kuwusize uthuthuke.

Ukuhlangana kuletha umuzwa wesikhumbuzo, wenjabulo, nomnyakazo ku-LA-5 Plaza ngokwakhiwa kwendawo ehlanganisayo ehlonipha umphakathi ohlukahlukene we-CSULB kanye nabantu baseTongva Gabrielino. Ukuklanywa kabusha kweplaza kuzobandakanya umfanekiso omkhulu wezintambo, umdwebo osesithombeni omelela abantu baseTongva Gabrielino basePuvungna, ukwakheka kwezitshalo zomdabu, imisebenzi yobuciko yasendaweni evela kubantu be-CSULB kanye nenqubo yobuciko ezohlanganisa abameleli be-CSULB kanye nemiphakathi eyahlukene yaseLong Beach. I Isixhumanisi sokuqoqa sixhuma kuwebhusayithi yesiphakamiso esisebenzisanayo.
Isungulwe endaweni eshiyiwe yasePuvungna, i-CSULB ibe nomlando onesiphithiphithi nabaphathi bomhlaba, izizwe/izizwe zeGabriino, iTongva, iJuaneno, kanye ne-Acjachemen. I-Puvungna ihumusha "indawo yokuhlangana," okuyindawo yedolobhana lasendulo, indawo yokungcwaba, nendawo engcwele yokuzalwa kukankulunkulu wamaNdiya aseMelika uChinigchinich. Emashumini ambalwa eminyaka adlule ngaphambi kwe-CSULB, abahlali bamakoloni "abagijimisa igolide" badlwengula i-Puvungna yemithombo yayo yemvelo, njenge- 49er Prospector Pete (PP). Kuze kube ngu-2020, u-Forty-niner PP ophikisanayo wayewuphawu lwenyuvesi, njengoba kukhonjiswe yi-mascot yangaphambili kanye nesifanekiso sethusi se-Greco-Roman esakhiwe ngokufana naye futhi saboniswa e-LA 5 Plaza. Abantu basePuvungna baqala inqubo ende nenzima yomthetho yokudicilela phansi i-PP, isibalo sakhe, kanye nefa lakhe elivela kumasiko nekhampasi ye-CSULB. I-Puvungna isebenze njengendawo yokuhlangana yokugubha ngokomoya ngabantu bomdabu bakulesi sifunda. Namuhla, i-plinth engenalutho ihlezi phezu kwe-LA5 Plaza, manje ebonakala isebenza njengesikhumbuzo semizabalazo yabantu bomdabu baseGabriino, iTongva, iJuaneno, kanye nezizwe/izizwe zase-Acjachemen.
Ukuqoqa imizamo yokuhlonipha nokukhumbula izakhamuzi zesikhathi esidlule, zamanje, nezesikhathi esizayo zezwe elingcwele, i-Puvungna. Ukuqoqa kubumba kabusha ukulandisa kwe-LA5 Plaza ukuze kuhlanganiswe umlando omubi we-Puvungna ngomcimbi wokuphulukisa nokushaywa kwezigubhu owenziwa yi- American Indian Studies Inter-Tribal Drummers . Imisindo yesigubhu yamaNdiya aseMelika ithathwa njengokushaya kwenhliziyo kweplanethi ngabantu baseGabarelino-Tonvga. Ngokomlando, i-Inter-Tribal Drumming bekuyindlela yokuqoqa umphakathi ekwelapheni nasekugubheni ukuze kukhuphule ukudlidliza komphakathi ngokuqaphela. I-AISITD yamukele ngokukhululekile isimemo sokwenza umcimbi wokuphulukisa nokushaya izigubhu e-LA 5 Plaza ngoDisemba 1, 2021, ngo-5 ntambama. I-plinth engasenamuntu manje iyindawo yesayithi yekhodi ye-QR eqoshiwe exhuma kusiphakamiso Sokubutha.
Inkundla ye-KCAM, eyake yaba i- UAM , iyindawo yesibili yombukiso we-UBUNTU. Udonga lukaRonald no-Sylvia Hartman luhlanganisa udonga lwenkululeko yomuntu yokukhuluma ( HFOSW ) ividiyo yokusebenza kusukela ngomhlaka-19 Septhemba 2018. Umsebenzi ongenele we-HFOSW ongenelele wasebenzisa ukucabangela "njengesimo sokuba khona" ukuze uvule inkhulumomphendvulwano emphakathini mayelana nokuhlolwa okuyimfihlo kwesikhungo kweciko u-lauren Woods Isikhumbuzo sase-AMERICAN umbukiso ekwindla ka-2018. Itshe lesikhumbuzo lase-Woods likhulume ngezindaba zesihluku samaphoyisa ezihlobene nempilo yabantu abamnyama futhi kamuva "lamiswa isikhashana" yingcweti emizamweni yokuvula inqubo yokubuyisela esimweni sobulungisa emnyuziyamu kanye nesikhungo mayelana nokuxoshwa komqondisi wemnyuziyamu u-Kimberli Meyer . Ingxabano ezungeze i- AMERICAN Monument ibe ugqozi lokusebenza ukukhombisa ukuthi umbhikisho othule unganika kanjani amandla imibono yenkululeko yokukhuluma. Udonga lwe-Hartman lubonisa ividiyo ye-HFOSW ngoDisemba 1, 2021, kusukela ngo-4:00 kuya ku-7pm.
I-UBUNTU Monument iyisithombe esibaziwe sensimbi esixubile esifakwe ekhoneni eliseningizimu lenkundla ye-KCAM eseduze nodonga lwaseHartman. Itshe lesikhumbuzo lihlonipha ukuphefumula, amandla, nokuphila kokhokho nabafel’ ukholo abalahlekelwa izimpilo zabo besabhekwa njengabanye. Ifilosofi ka-Ubuntu iphakamisa ukuthi SIbone ngeso lengqondo i-COMMONPLACE Elinganayo, Ebandakanyayo, Nehlukahlukene yabo bonke abantu bomhlaba ngokuzazisa wena komunye nomunye. Ake sithathe isikhashana ukukhumbula abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-37.2 abampofu e-United States, lapho abangu-417,281 balabo bantu behlala bengenazindlu, futhi abangu-297,108 balabo bantu abangenazindlu bayidlanzana. Ukubalwa kwabantu kuka-2020 e-US kuhlonze ukuthi abantu Abamnyama banezinga eliphezulu lobumpofu elingamaphesenti angu-19.5 kusukela ngo-1959 kuya ku-2019, ngaphandle koshintsho olubalulekile ngo-2020. E-Los Angeles, ama-27.1% ezakhamuzi eziNsundu aphila ngaphansi komugqa wobumpofu. Nakuba i-US Census yakamuva ilinganisela ukuthi abaNsundu bakha u-12% wabantu, abaNsundu ngokudabukisayo benza u-26.4% walabo ababulawa ngamaphoyisa ngaphansi kwazo zonke izimo. Abantu abamnyama bayizisulu zokusebenzisa amandla okubulala amaphoyisa cishe ngenani eliphindwe kabili kunelomphakathi. Abantu abamnyama e-US bathintwa ngokulinganayo yingcindezelo yesistimu egcwele zonke izici zempilo yabo. I-mantric ethi "NGINGUYE SINGAYI" iqoshwe emgqeni oqoshiwe ongenalutho futhi ihambisana nombono wendabuko ukuze SIkwazi ukubona ukufana kwethu emiphakathini ESIHLALA kuyo.
