Intshayelelo: Imbali yeePoni zeSiqithi saseSable
I-Sable Island Ponies, ekwabizwa ngokuba ngamahashe asendle, inembali ende kunye nembali eCanada. Ezi zilwanyana zomeleleyo nezomeleleyo ziye zahlala kwiSiqithi iSable, isiqithi esisemagqagaleni nesinomoya ovuthuzayo kunxweme lwaseNova Scotia, ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-250. Kukholelwa ukuba la mahashe aphuma kumahashe awaphukelwa yinqanawa kwesi siqithi ngasekupheleni kwenkulungwane ye-18, kwaye aye aqhubeka ephila kwesi siqithi ukususela ngoko, eqhelana nemekobume erhabaxa aze abe yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yenkqubo yendalo yesi siqithi.
Ngaphandle kokuba bodwa, i-Sable Island Ponies ibambe ingcamango yabantu baseCanada kunye nabantu behlabathi jikelele, bekhuthaza amagcisa, ababhali, kunye nabenzi befilimu ukuba benze imisebenzi ebhiyozela ubuhle kunye nokomelela kwabo. Ukususela kwiincwadi ukuya kutsho kwimizobo, imizobo, kwaneenkqubo zikamabonwakude, iiponi ziye zaba luphawu lwenkcubeko, nto leyo ebonisa umoya ongalawulekiyo wentlango yaseKhanada.
Ukubaluleka kweNkcubeko ye-Sable Island Ponies
Iiponi zeSiqithi saseSable ziye zaba luphawu olubalulekileyo lwenkcubeko yaseKhanada, emele intlango yelizwe egqagqeneyo nengagungqiyo. Ezi zilwanyana ziye zabamba iingcamango zamagcisa, ababhali, kunye nabenzi befilimu, bebakhuthaza ukuba benze imisebenzi ebhiyozela ubuhle kunye nokomelela kwabo.
Iiponi zikwadlale indima ebalulekileyo kwinkcubeko yabantu baseMi'kmaq, abahlala kulo mmandla amawaka eminyaka. Ngokutsho kwentsomi kaMi'kmaq, iiponi zizilwanyana ezingcwele ezinamandla okuphilisa nokukhusela abo balahlekileyo okanye abasengozini. Kukholelwa ukuba la mahashe angabazali besi siqithi, abajonge ubutyebi baso bendalo kwaye bebukhusela ekwenzakaleni. Namhlanje, abantu baseMi'kmaq bayaqhubeka bejonga iiponi njengenxalenye ebalulekileyo yelifa lenkcubeko yabo, kwaye basebenzela ukukhusela kunye nendawo yabo yokuhlala.
