Apa ndipomwe kufunikira kwanga kujambula makolo anga kumayambira, ndichikhumbo chofuna kupeza mizu yanga yakwathu, mbiri ya banja langa komanso chidwi changa chodziwa zomwe sindikudziwa ...

Apa ndipomwe kufunikira kwanga kujambula makolo anga kumayambira, chifukwa chofunitsitsa kupeza mizu yanga, mbiri ya banja langa komanso chidwi changa chodziwa zomwe sindidziwa. Pofufuza umboni wina wazomwe zidachitika mzaka zomwe agogo anga aamuna adafika ku Sonora, ndidapeza kuphedwa komwe kudachitika mu 1868, pomwe mikangano yambiri idachitika pakati pa anthu amtunduwu ndi azungu (ofunitsitsa kulanda malo akale ).

Ndinkakonda kumumva akunena kuti ali ndi zaka pafupifupi zisanu ndi zinayi, adawona amuna omwe ali ndi tsitsi lalitali atakwera akavalo opanda zishalo, ali ndi mauta ndi mivi, ndikuti akuwathamangitsa. Tsopano mibadwo yatsopano yapeza malo okhala ndi ngongole za njira zatsopano zamoyo zomwe timatsogolera, osazindikira zoyipa zomwe timachita.
Kusaka kwanga pamkhalidwewu ndikudziwa zomwe sindikuzidziwa, komanso zomwe ndikuganiza kuti sindidzazidziwa ndikumvetsetsa. Podziwa kuti mibadwo ya banja langa yakhala m'malo omwe anali amtunduwu, ndikudziwa kuti si banja lokhalo mdziko lathu, koma kuti ndife ambiri, zimandipempha kuti ndisonyeze ndi ntchitoyi chidwi chake, mtundu wanga, chifukwa cha makolo anga osati ochokera ku United States, koma ochokera ku Mexico; Nditha kungopereka zithunzizi ngati ulemu kwa mavuto omwe tikupitilizabe ... osadziwa zomwe sitidziwa.
