3National Heroes Day is a tradition celebrated in a few Caribbean territories, but in Bermuda, there is online discourse over the purpose and history of the national holiday.Fomban-drazana ankalazaina any amin'ireo faritra vitsivitsy any Karaiba ny Androm-pirenena ho an'ireo Maherifo, saingy any Bermuda dia misy lahateny anaty aterineto momba ny antony sy ny tantaran'ny androm-pirenena ho fialan-tsasatra.
4Ironically, the Bermudian government decided not to name anyone as the subject of this year's celebration, even as it emphasized its importance.Ny mampihomehy dia nanapa-kevitra ny tsy ilaza ny anaran'iza na iza voakasika amin'ny fankalazana amin'ity taona ity ny governemanta bermudiana, na dia notsindriny aza ny mahazava-dehibe izany.
5The contradiction confused the blog catch a fire, who noted that the holiday, ever since its inception in 2008, has been controversial.Nampisahotaka ny bilaogy catch a fire ( sambory ny afo) ilay fifanoherana, izay nanamarika fa hatramin'ny nisiany tamin'ny 2008 dia nampifanditra ilay andro fialan-tsasatra.
6The blogger recapped why there has been so much public scepticism:Nofintinin'ilay mpitoraka bilaogy ny antony mampisy ny fanahiana be eo amin'ny vahoaka:
7The holiday has been the subject of criticism…by those who think it's an insult to the monarchy (officially replacing the Queen's Birthday Holiday, the parade of which continues on the same day anyway), or that it was a conspiracy of reverse racism by the PLP [Progressive Labour Party that currently sits in opposition], or that it failed to set out a clear way to select a hero each year (the first national hero, Lois Browne-Evans, was the subject of the day from 2008 until 2011 when three additional heroes shared the day - Pauulu Kamarakafego, Dr EF Gordon and Henry Tucker; and Mary Prince was the subject for 2012, and, by default, 2013).Fototry ny tsikera ilay andro tsy fiasana … ho an'ireo izay mihevitra fa ompa ho an'ny fanjakana ( ny fanoloana ofisialy ny andro tsy fiasana noho ny tsingerintaona nahaterahan'ny Mpanjakavavy, izay mitohy amin'io andro io ihany ny matso na izany aza), na koa hoe fikononkononana fanavakavaham-bolon-koditra ambadika ataon'ny PLP (Progressive Labour Party: Antokon'ny Mpiasa Mivoatra izay mipetraka eo amin'ny toeran'ny mpanohitra amin'izao fotoana izao), na tsy nahomby tamin'ny fametrahana fomba mazava hisafidianana maherifo iray isan-taona, i Lois Browne-Evans no maherifom-pirenena voaresaka tanatin'ny fankalazana nanomboka tamin'ny 2008 ka hatramin'ny 2011 rehefa nisy mahery fo telo hafa fanampiny niara-tsarovana tamin'io andro io- i Pauulu Kamarakafego, ny Dr EF Gordon sy i Henry Tucker; ary i Mary Prince no fototry ny fankalazana tamin'ny 2012, ary noho ny tsy fahampiana, dia mbola ireo ihany tamin'ny 2013).
8The process involved in selecting national heroes was also in question:Mbola nampametram-panontaniana ihany koa ny zotra natao hifidianana ireo maherifom-pirenena :
9I understood that selection would be through nominations to a board/committee - related to the Department of Community & Cultural Affairs - which would then provide a short-list of candidates for the Minister to select from, and that this would be annual.Ny azoko dia ny hoe amin'ny alàlan'ny fanendrena atao ao amin'ny komisiona/komity - mifandray amin'ny Departemantan'ny Vondrom-piarahamonina sy ny Raharaha Ara-kolontsaina- izay hanome lisitra fohy mirakitra ireo mpifaninana avy eo mba hosafidian'ny Minisitra, ary atao isan-taona izany.
10That has not been the case, and it remains unclear how the hero is to be selected - or, more frequently, not selected.Tsy izay no niseho, ary tsy mbola mazava ny fomba nifidianana ireo maherifo - na, matetika, tsy voafidy.
11Which is disappointing.Izay mandiso fanantenana.
12Vexed Bermoothes thought that politicians only convoluted the issue:Noheverin'i Vexed Bermoothes fa manao izay hahasarotra io olana io fotsiny ireo mpanao politika:
13The problem with ‘national hero days' is that the politicians promptly name themselves as heroes.Ny olana amin'ny ‘androm-pirenena ho an'ny maherifo' dia ny fahamaikan'ireo mpanao politika hitonon-tena ho maherifo.
14That's not the way it works guys.Tsy izany no fandehany ry akama a.
15catch a fire agreed that the whole point of the occasion was:Neken'i catch a fire fa ny teboka manontolon'io hetsika io dia :
16To commemorate living national heroes…and…past national heroes who may otherwise be forgotten, and so help build an appreciation of our heritage.Ho fahatsiarovana ireo maherifom-pirenena mbola velona…sy…ireo maherifom-pirenena taloha izay raha tsy izany dia mety ho adino, ary araka izany dia manampy amin'ny fananganana ny fankafizana ny harem-pirenentsika.
17Historically, he felt that issues of race had an impact upon the awareness of some aspects of Bermudian heritage:Ara-tantara, dia tsapany fa nanana fiantraikany amin'ny fahatsiarovan-tena manoloana ireo endrika sasantsasany amin'ny harem-pirenen'i Bermudaireo olana ara-bolon-koditra :
18Due to the racial power imbalances prevalent in our history, ‘Black' history has been largely erased from the historical record - indeed, ‘actively suppressed' may be a better phrase than simply ‘erased'.Noho ny tsy fifandanjan-kery amin'ny resa-bolon-koditra fahita matetika tanatin'ny tantarantsika, saika voafafa amin'ny ampahany lehibe ao anatin'ny rakitra ara-tantara ny tantaran'ny ‘Mainty' - eny tokoa, ‘nofafàna tsy an-kiato' angamba no fehezanteny tsaratsara kokoa ilazana azy noho ny hoe ‘voafafa' tsotra izao.
19And this largely means that key national heroes are simply unknown - they weren't recorded and so aren't recognised.Ary izany “ampahany lehibe” izany dia midika fa tsy fantatra ireo maherifom-pirenena tena lehibe - tsy voatahiry izy ireo ary dia tsy fantatra ihany koa.
20Our history has, rather literally, been White-washed - as well as filtered in a sexist way to boot.Nofotsiana ara-bakiteny ny tantarantsika - sady nosivanina tanatinà fomba fanavakavahana ara-pananahana ho fanombohana.
21Despite this, there are plenty of heroes, historical and present, who can, and should have, been the focus of National Heroes Day, complete with a coordinated public education campaign, across races and sex.Na dia izany aza anefa, betsaka ireo maherifo, teo amin'ny tantara amin'izao fotoana, izay mety sy tsy tokony nitodihan'ny Androm-pirenena ho an'ireo Maherifo, miampy ny hetsi-panentanana ho fanabeazana ny vahoaka, manerana ny volon-koditra sy ny fananahana.
22The blogger ended by suggesting alternative approaches to celebrating the day so that there will be more national heroes to acknowledge in the future:Nofaranan'ilay mpitoraka bilaogy tamin'ny fanomezana sosokevitra hafaentina ankalazana ilay andro mba hisian'ireo maherifom-pirenena bebe kokoa hofantarina any aoriana:
23For those unrecorded heroes of the past we could have had a generic ‘themed' day where focus would have been on past injustices and the resistance against them.Ho an'ireo maherifo izay tsy voarakitra tany aloha dia tokony afaka nanokana andro iray ‘fahatsiarovana' amin'ny ankapobeny izay ifantohana amin'ireo tsy rariny nisy tany aloha sy ny fanoherana natao azy ireo isika.
24Alternatively, National Heroes Day could be a generic one (which it appears to be this year) where everyone's left to determine their own national hero.Na koa mety ho andro fahatsiarovana iray amin'ny ankapobeny (tahaka ny amin'ity taona ity) ny Androm-pirenena ho an'ireo Maherifo ka havela hamaritra izay maherifom-pireneny avy ny tsirairay.
25Which has its merits, but I feel it misses out on a pedagogical opportunity to highlight our collective heritage (living or other) and help inspire people to become future national heroes.Izay manana ny fahamendrehany, nefa tsapako fa misy zavatra tsy ampy amin'ny hetsika fanabeazana mba hanazavàna bebe kokoa ny harem-pirenena iombonantsika (ireo maina sy ireo hafa) ary hanampy hanainga ny olona ho lasa maherifom-pirenena rahatrizay.
