Nrog rau ntau tus neeg tsiv teb tsaws chaw thiab cov neeg tawg rog los ntawm ib lub tebchaws uas tsis yog lus Askiv, tsis yog lus Romance yog tus qauv, Kuv tau raug yuam ntev los suav nrog lub zog ntawm cov npe hauv Asmeskas. Ib lub npe tuaj yeem ua ib qho khoom plig rau cov poj koob yawm txwv thaum ua rau kev thuam ntawm qhov chaw ua si. Nws tuaj yeem yog ob qho tseem ceeb ntawm kab lis kev cai, thiab tsis muaj kev hu rov qab rau kev xam phaj haujlwm. Lub npe tuaj yeem yog kev caw, lub nra, kev sib cav, pib.
Raws li pab neeg ua yeeb yam tau tshaj tawm cov tswv yim tshiab hauv 2021, pom lub hom phiaj los txhawb lub zog, muaj tswv yim, thiab kev coj noj coj ua ntawm Minnesota cov kws ua yeeb yam, muaj ntau qhov xav paub, tej zaum qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws: leej twg ploj lawm? Leej twg yog McKnight nrhiav los ua haujlwm rau? Raws li peb txuas ntxiv txhim kho txoj kev ua yeeb yam hauv Minnesota kom ua tau zoo dua qub, muaj tswv yim, thiab muaj ntau lub neej yav tom ntej uas tib neeg thiab ntiaj chaw vam meej, peb nruj me ntsis tshuaj xyuas peb qhov kev txhawb nqa mus. Txoj kev sib raug zoo ntev ntev uas muaj cov tswv cuab hauv zej zog, cov koom tes, thiab ntau tus neeg ua haujlwm McKnight tau txheeb xyuas qhov tseeb tias qee tus thawj coj muaj tswv yim los ntawm qee cov kab lis kev cai, xws li Neeg Qhab Asmeskas thiab Hmoob, feem ntau tsis siv lo lus "tus kws kos duab," tab sis yog leej twg yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev sib kis thiab kev txuag. ntawm kab lis kev cai lifeways. McKnight xav tsim lub aperture loj dua, tshwj xeeb los txhawb cov keeb kwm marginalized thiab underrepresented pab pawg neeg uas nws xyaum tej zaum yuav tshwm sim nyob rau sab nraum kev teeb tsa thiab nruj Eurocentric framings.
Xyoo 2022, Arts Program, qhov kev pab cuam ntev tshaj plaws ntawm McKnight, tau hloov nws lub npe mus rau Arts & Culture Program. Kev hloov lub npe yog ob qho kev caw thiab kev sib tw: kev caw rau kab lis kev cai loj los rov xav txog peb lub ntsiab lus ntawm tus kws ua yeeb yam tuaj yeem yog, thiab kev sib tw sab hauv txhawm rau txheeb xyuas qhov cuam tshuam, thiab rhuav tshem cov teeb meem, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog hauv kev pabcuam rau cov neeg tsis muaj npe. .
Ua raws li tus thawj coj ntawm nws qhov kev pab cuam niam txiv, Kev Sib Koom Tes tau hloov nws lub npe mus rau McKnight Artist & Culture Bearer Fellowship. Muab khoom plig $25,000 rau 49 Fellows hauv Minnesota hla 15 ntau yam kev qhuab qhia txhua xyoo (saib 2023 cov phooj ywg), nws yog ib qho ntawm cov nyiaj pub dawb tshaj plaws rau cov neeg ua yeeb yam hauv lub tebchaws. Qhov kev hloov ntawm Artist Fellowship mus rau Artist & Culture Bearer Fellowship tau qhia meej txog ntau yam kev qhuab qhia thiab kev coj noj coj ua uas ua rau Minnesota qhov chaw zoo. Tsis tas li ntawd, cov lus invokes peb tsom ntsoov rau lub tus neeg tsim kev kos duab thiab enacting cov kab lis kev cai es tsis yog ib yam khoom los yog tshwm sim.
Muaj ib lo lus uas nrov: tib neeg xav tau kev kos duab, tab sis lawv tsis xav them nyiaj ua yeeb yam. Raws li cov kab kev xav, peb paub tias cov kab lis kev cai muaj feem ntau tsis muaj nqis. Lub tswv yim ntawm Txoj Haujlwm Sib Koom Tes ib txwm muaj, yooj yim thiab tsis txaus ntseeg, tsom mus rau kev txhawb nqa rau cov neeg ua haujlwm hauv nruab nrab ntawm kev kos duab thiab kab lis kev cai. Yog tias koj tsis pab txhawb nqa lub neej thiab kev coj ua ntawm cov kws ua yeeb yam thiab cov neeg coj noj coj ua, koj tsis tau txais kev kos duab thiab kab lis kev cai.
Cov phooj ywg thiab cov qhua ntawm 2023 McKnight Foundation kev ua koob tsheej saib cov yeeb yaj kiab qhuas cov neeg laus hauv zej zog, tus kws kos duab, thiab 2023 Culture Bearer Fellow Nothando Zulu.
Tab sis vim li cas thiaj li pab nyiaj rau cov neeg ua yeeb yam thiab cov kab lis kev cai thaum muaj ntau qhov chaw tseem ceeb los txhawb nqa? Nyob rau lub sijhawm keeb kwm no ntawm cov ntaub ntawv xov xwm tsis tas yuav xaus thiab kev sib cais ntawm kev sib raug zoo, ntau tus hauv kev pab nyiaj txiag thiab sab nrauv tau txheeb xyuas qhov tsim nyog ntawm kev hloov pauv. Txhawm rau hloov lub ntiaj teb mus rau ib qho kev ncaj ncees thiab muaj zog dua, peb yuav tsum hloov pauv kab lis kev cai. Raws li keeb kwm, neeg sau xov xwm, thiab tus thawj coj hloov pauv Jeff Chang hais tias, "Kev nom kev tswv thiab txoj cai yog qhov twg qee tus neeg nyob rau qee lub sijhawm, tab sis kab lis kev cai yog qhov chaw uas tib neeg feem ntau nyob hauv lub sijhawm."
Cov kws ua yeeb yam thiab cov neeg coj kev coj noj coj ua yog qhov tseem ceeb rau kev hloov pauv kev coj noj coj ua uas peb xav pom kom muaj kev ncaj ncees thiab ntau haiv neeg. Lawv yog ob leeg tuav keeb kwm thiab cov thawj coj mus rau yav tom ntej zoo dua. Piv txwv li, Delina White, ib tug 2023 Fellow nyob rau hauv Textile, melds Native American beadwork mus rau niaj hnub khiav khiav, thiab nws txawv txawv thiab revolutionary txheej txheem koom nrog kev sib ntsib thiab ua hauj lwm nrog cov qauv ua ntej nws tsim rau lawv. Thiab Dr. Artika Tyner, ib tug 2022 Fellow in Children's Literature, yog tus kws lij choj paub zoo, tus thawj coj xav, thiab tus neeg saib xyuas kev hloov pauv hauv zej zog, uas ua rau cov khoom zoo li no rau hauv nws cov menyuam cov phau ntawv.
