Hisitōlia ʻo e Faifakamoʻuí

Naʻe ngāue ʻaki ʻe he Kāingalotu ʻi he kuonga muʻá ʻa e meʻafoaki fakalaumālie ʻo e faifakamoʻuí ʻi ha founga kehekehe ʻe ua. ʻUluakí, ne nau muimui ʻi he faleʻi ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú pea mo e ngaahi fakahā naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa Sāmitá ʻa ia ne fakahinohinoʻi ai kinautolu ke nau ui ki he “kaumātuʻa ʻo e siasí” ke “hilifaki honau nimá” ki he kau mahakí mo tāpuekina ʻa kinautolu.3 Koeʻuhí ke muimui ʻi he fekau fakafolofola ko ʻení, naʻe fakahoko ʻe he kau tangata ne nau maʻu lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ʻi he Siasí ʻa e faingāué. Ko hono uá, naʻe mamata ʻa e fuofua Kāingalotú ki he faifakamoʻuí ko ha meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālié, ʻa ia naʻe ʻatā ke maʻu ʻe ha taha pē naʻá ne maʻu ha tui feʻungá.4 ʻI he senituli 19 mo e konga kimuʻa ʻo e senituli 20, naʻe fakahoko ʻe he kakai tangata mo fefine ʻa e faingāué ʻi he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, naʻe meimei ke fai ia ʻaki hano hilifaki e nimá ʻi he kupu ʻo e sinó ʻoku kafó kae ʻikai fakahaaʻi ʻa e mafai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí.5

Naʻe kehekehe pē ʻa e founga faifakamoʻui ʻa e fuofua kau Māmongá. Naʻe kamata ʻa hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e lolo kuo fakatapuí ki hono tākai ʻaki ʻa e mahakí ʻi he hili hono fakatapui ʻo e Temipale Ketilaní, neongo naʻe liliu ʻa e founga ki hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e loló ʻi he ʻalu pē ʻa e taimí. Hangē ko ʻení, ne faʻa hanga ʻe he niʻihi ne nau puké pe kafó ʻo tākai ʻaki ʻa e loló ʻa honau kupu ʻoku kafó ʻo hangē ha kilimi faitoʻó.6 Naʻe ngāueʻaki foki mo e ngaahi ouau naʻe faʻa fakaʻaongaʻi ki he ngaahi ʻuhinga kehé ke fai ʻaki e faifakamoʻuí. Hangē ko ʻení, naʻe fakahoko ʻa e papitaisó he taimi ʻe niʻihi ki he ngaahi ʻuhinga fakaemoʻui lelei. ʻI he ngaahi meʻa peheé, naʻe fakauku ʻa e kakai tangata mo fefine ʻi he vaí, ʻo ʻikai koeʻuhí ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻenau ngaahi angahalá ka koeʻuhí ko ʻenau moʻui lelei fakatuʻasinó. Naʻe fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi papitaiso ko ʻení ʻi he ʻū temipalé ʻe he kakai tangata ne nau maʻu ʻa e mafai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻo aʻu mai ki he konga kimuʻa ʻo e senituli 20.7 Naʻe fakahoko e ngaahi ouau faifakamoʻui kehé ʻi he temipalé, ʻo kau ai ʻa e fufulú mo e paní ki he moʻui leleí; naʻe vaheʻi ʻa e kakai tangata mo fefine ke nau fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ko iá.8

Naʻe poupouʻi ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e kau mai ʻa e kakai fefiné ki he faifakamoʻuí. Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “ʻOku fakaʻapaʻapaʻi e kakai fefiné ʻi he hilifakinimá he ʻoku ʻikai ko ha angahala ke fai ia ʻe ha taha ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e tuí.”9 Naʻe hoko ʻa hono tāpuakiʻi ʻo e mahakí ko hano fakalahi fakanatula pē ia ʻo e ngāue ʻa e kakai fefiné ʻi heʻenau hoko ko e kau neesi mo e kau tauhi ʻi he ngaahi taimi ʻo e puké. Ka naʻe tautautefito ki hono faʻa tākai mo tāpuakiʻi ʻe he kakai fefine Siasí ʻa e kakai fefine kehé ʻi he ngaahi taimi feitamá mo e fāʻelé.10

Naʻe hoko atu ʻe Pilikihami ʻIongi mo e kau taki kehe ʻo e Siasí ke fakalotolahiʻi ʻa e kakai fefiné ke nau fekumi ki he meʻafoaki ʻo e faifakamoʻuí pea fakangofua e kakai fefiné ke nau kau ʻi he faingāué.11 ʻI he 1880, naʻe pehē ʻe he Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá naʻe fakahoko ʻe he kakai fefiné ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e faifakamoʻuí “ʻo ʻikai ʻi he tuʻunga mo e mafai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, kae tuʻunga ʻi heʻenau tui kia Kalaisí.”12 Naʻe tatau pē mo hono akoʻi ʻe he Palesiteni Lahi ʻo e Fineʻofá ko ʻIlisa R.

ʻI he konga kimui ʻo e senituli 19, naʻe kamata ke fekumi e toʻu tangata foʻou ʻo e Kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ki he moʻui leleí mo e faifakamoʻuí ʻi ha ngaahi founga kehe mei he founga ʻenau ngaahi kuí. Ne nau hokohoko atu pē ke tākai ʻaki ʻa e loló ʻa e niʻihi ne puké, ka ʻi he taimi lahi, ne nau fakamamafaʻi ʻa hono lelei ʻo e ʻaukaí mo e lotú taʻe toe fakahoko ha tāpuaki lakanga fakataulaʻeiki.14 Naʻe hoko foki mo e fakalakalaka ʻi he faitoʻo fakasaienisí ke nau falala ange ai ki he kau toketaá mo e falemahakí ʻi he ngaahi toʻu tangata kimuʻá.15 ʻI he konga kimuʻa ʻo e senituli 20, naʻe fakaleleiʻi ʻe Palesiteni Siosefa F. Sāmita mo Hiipa J. Kalanite ʻa e ngaahi founga mo e ouau ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, ʻo kau ai e faingāué.16 Naʻe kau ʻi he fakaleleiʻi ko ʻení ʻa hono pulusi e fakahinohino ki he faingāue ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻi he tohi tuʻutuʻuni ki he kau faifekaú mo e kau taki lakanga fakataulaʻeikí.17 Naʻe fai foki ʻe he kau taki ʻo e Siasí ha fakahinohino pau ki hono ngāue ʻaki ʻo e lolo fakatapuí ʻi he tāpuakí, ne tuʻutuʻuni ke tākai fakasiʻisiʻi pē ʻi he funga ʻulú.18 ʻI he 1920 tupú, naʻe taʻofi ʻa hono toe fakahoko ʻo e papitaiso ke maʻu e moʻui leleí kae pehē foki ki he faingāue ʻi he temipalé.19

Ko e meʻa ki he kau ʻa e kakai fefiné ʻi he faingāué, naʻe fakapapauʻi mai ʻi ha tohi mei he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ʻi he 1914 ʻe malava ʻe ha “fefine pē ʻokú ne tui lahi ki he ʻOtuá mo e mālohi ʻo e lotú” ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa e mahakí. Ka naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe he Kau Palesitenisií ʻa hono mahuʻinga ʻo e tāpuaki lakanga fakataulaʻeikí: “Ko e fekau ʻa e ʻEikí ke ui ʻa e kaumātuʻá ke nau faingāue ki he kau mahakí, pea ko e taimi ʻoku ui ai kinautolú, ʻoku totonu ke kole ange ke nau tākai ʻa e tokotaha puké pe fakamaʻu ʻa e tākaí.”20 Naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe he kau taki ʻo e Siasí kimui aí ʻa e fakahinohino fakafolofola ke “tala ia ki he kaumātuʻá” ke fakahoko e faingāué.21 Naʻe poupouʻi ʻa e fakamamafa ko ʻení ʻi he ʻū makasini ʻa e Siasí pea mo e ʻū tohi naʻe ʻave pea tufaki ʻe he kau taki ʻo e Fineʻofá ʻi he 1940 tupú mo e 1950 tupú.22 ʻOku fakahinohino ʻe he tohi tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e Siasí he taimi ní ko e “kau maʻu Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-Melekisētekí pē te nau lava ʻo faingāue ki he mahakí pe faingataʻaʻiá.”23

Ko e Faifakamoʻuí mo e Faitoʻo Fakasaienisí

ʻI he fekumi ʻa e fuofua Kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ki he faifakamoʻuí ʻi he ngaahi founga fakalaumālié, naʻa nau muimui ai ʻi he faleʻi fakalaumālie ʻoku totonu ke “fafangaʻi ʻa [e mahakí] ʻi he tauhi angaʻofa lahi ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi ʻakau iiki mo e meʻakai vaivai.”24 Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Palesiteni Pilikihami ʻIongi naʻe taau ke “fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e faitoʻo kotoa pē ʻoku ou ʻiloʻí, pea kole ki heʻeku Tamai ʻi hēvaní, ʻi he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ke fakatapui ʻa e faitoʻo ko iá ke ne faitoʻo hoku sinó.”25 Naʻá ne poupouʻi ʻa e kakai tangata mo fefine fakatouʻosi ki he ako fakataukei fakafaitoʻó pea naʻá ne fakaʻatā ke tokoniʻi fakapaʻanga ʻa e tokolahi ʻo e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ke nau ako ʻi he ngaahi akoʻanga fakafaitoʻo ʻi he fakahahake ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití.26

ʻOku hokohoko atu ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ke fekumi ki he faito’o totonú mei he kau mataotaó. Kuo akoʻi ʻe he kau taki ʻo e Siasí “ʻoku ʻikai ke fehangahangai ʻa hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e faitoʻo fakasaienisí mo ʻetau ngaahi lotu ʻi he tuí pea mo ʻetau fakafalala ki he ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e faingāué.”27 ʻOku tui ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ki he fakaʻehiʻehi mei he mahakí ʻo fakafou ʻi he maʻu e meʻatokoni totonú, fakamālohisino mo mālōlō feʻungá, tauhi ʻa e Lea ʻo e Potó, mo e tokangaekina e moʻui leleí. Hangē ko ʻení, ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi kimuí ni maí, kuo foaki ʻe he Siasí ha tokoni lahi ki he huhu maluʻí ʻi māmani fulipē.28
