Helemuti Hupinā

Ko Helemuti Kanitā Hupinā (1925–42), ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí ʻi Hamipoki, Siamane, ko e tokotaha siʻisiʻi taha ia ʻi he fakafepaki ʻa Siamane ki he kau Nasisí ʻa ia ne fakapoongi ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e Fakamaauʻanga Makehe ʻa e Kakaí (Volksgerichtshof) ʻi Pēliní.1 Naʻe kamata ʻi he konga kimuʻa ʻo e 1941, ʻa hono faʻu ʻe Hupinā ha fanga kiʻi fakamatala hohoko ʻi ha laʻipepa tufa ke fakafepaki ki he kau Nasí ʻa ia ne kau ai ʻene ngaahi fakamatala fakapolitikalé mo e ngaahi tatau ʻo e ngaahi fakamafola fakaletiō ʻa honau Faʻahi Tokoní. ʻI he tokoni ʻa e toʻu tupu kehé, naʻá ne tufaki ai e fanga kiʻi laʻipepá ki he kotoa ʻo Hamipokí. ʻI Fēpueli ʻo e 1942, naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ai ʻe he Fakamaauʻangá ʻoku halaia ʻa Hupinā ʻi he “faʻufaʻu ke fakahoko ha talisone fakatuʻutāmaki mo ha poupou lavaki ki he filí” pea naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ai ke fakapoongi ia; naʻe toe fakahalaiaʻi foki ʻe he fakamaauʻangá ʻa hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻe toko tolu ko Lutolofi Uopi, Kali-Haini Sinipei, mo Keahati Tiuea ko e “fanongo ki ha kautaha letiō muli mo hono tufaki e ngaahi ongoongo ʻo e letiō mulí.” Naʻe fakapoongi ʻa Hupinā hili ha māhina ʻe valu mei hono taʻu 17. Naʻe tauteaʻi ʻa Uopi, Sinipei, mo Tiuea ke nau ngāue pōpula pea naʻa nau nofo pē ʻi he ngaahi ʻapitanga pōpulá ʻo aʻu ki he ʻosi ʻa e Tau Lahi Hono II ʻa Māmaní.2

Naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻa Hupinā ʻi Hamipoki ʻi he 1925. Naʻe ngāue ʻa ʻene faʻē taautaha ko ʻEma Kutati Kunikelí ke tokoniʻi ʻa Helemuti pea mo hono ongo taʻokete naʻa nau faʻē tahá, ko Hanisi mo Keahati. Ko hono olá, naʻe lahi ange nofo ʻa Helemuti mo hono ongo taʻoketé ʻi heʻenau kei talavoú mo ʻenau kui fefine ko Uilimina Satiloú, ʻa ia ne nofo ofi atu pē.3 ʻI he 1939, naʻe mali ʻa ʻEma mo Huiko Hupinā, ko ha tokotaha ngāue langa mo ha mēmipa ʻo e Paati ʻa e kau Nasí, ʻa ia naʻá ne pusiakiʻi kimui ange ʻa Helemuti. Naʻe fehiʻa ʻa e husepāniti foʻou ʻo ʻEmá ʻi he Siasí pea naʻe kamata ke tāututuku e mālohi [ʻa ʻEma] ʻi he Siasí hili ʻena malí, mahalo ke fakafiemālieʻi [hono husepānití]. Ka neongo ia, naʻe kei hokohoko atu pē ʻa e maʻulotu ʻa Helemuti mo hono ongo tokouá mo ʻenau kui fefiné.4

Hangē ko honau ngaahi kaungāʻapí, naʻe ʻuluaki vakai e Kāingalotu Siamané ki he ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa e Paati Nasí ke fakafoʻou e tuʻunga pau fakaʻekonōmiká mo fakalahi e ongoʻi polepole fakafonuá, ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei. Naʻe kau atu ha kāingalotu ʻe niʻihi ʻo e Siasí ki he pātí kae fakafepakiʻi fefeka ʻe ha niʻihi ʻa e fokotuʻutuʻu ke pulé. Ka naʻe ʻi ai pē mo ha niʻihi ne ʻikai ke nau kau ki ha tafaʻaki.5 Naʻe mamata tonu ʻa Helemuti Hupinā ki he faʻahinga kehekehe ʻo e kau atu ki he pātí. Naʻe hoko ʻene palesiteni fakakolo ko ʻAfa Sanitā ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Paati Nasí, pea naʻá ne fakamālohiʻi e kāingalotu ʻo e koló ke nau fanongo ki he ngaahi fakamafola fakaletiō ʻa e pātí, fakamanamana ke lipooti e kāingalotu ʻoku kau ki ha ngaahi ʻekitivitī fakafepaki ki he puleʻangá, pea ʻi he 1938, naʻá ne fokotuʻu ha fakaʻilonga ʻi he matapā ʻo e falelotú ne fakahā ai ʻoku ʻikai talitali lelei e kakai Siú.6 Naʻe ʻi ai ha kāingalotu tokosiʻi ne nau tui honau teunga fakakautaú mo e teunga ngāue fakapuleʻangá ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻa e Siasí. Kae lolotonga iá, naʻe malangaʻi ʻe ʻOto Pēnati, ko e palesiteni fakavahefonua ʻo Hamipokí, ʻo fakafepakiʻi mei he tuʻunga malangá ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e puleʻangá, naʻá ne poupouʻi fakapulipuli ʻa e fakafepaki ʻa e kāingalotú, peá ne faʻa luelue fakataha mo e kau papi ului Siú. Neongo naʻe ʻuluaki kau ʻa Hupinā ʻi he Jungvolk fakalotofonuá (ko e kulupu naʻe fokotuʻutuʻu ʻe he kau Nasí maʻá e fānau ne fuʻu kei siʻi ke kau ki he Toʻu Tupu ʻa Hitilaá), ka naʻe fakaʻau pē ʻo ne fakafisingaʻi e fakakaukau ʻa e pātí.7

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu failau ʻo e 1941, naʻe maʻu ai ʻe Hupinā ha kiʻi letiō ʻa hono tokoua ko Keahatí pea naʻá ne fakaʻaongaʻi ia ke fanongo ai ki he ngaahi fakamafola ongoongo he poʻulí mei he Kautaha Fakamafolalea ʻa Pilitāniá (BBC)—ko ha hia ia ʻi he malumalu ʻo e lao ʻa e kau Nasí. Naʻe faʻa kau fakataha mo ia ha ongo kaungāmeʻa mei he lotú ko Kali-Haini Sinipei mo Lutolofi (Luti) Uopi. Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo kamata ke faʻu ʻe Hupinā ha ʻū laʻipepa tufa ke fakafepaki ki he kau Nasí ʻa ia ne ʻasi ai ha fakamatala mei he ngaahi fakamafolá fakataha mo ʻene fakamatala pē ʻaʻaná. Naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe Hupinā ha pepa kāponi mo ha ongo mīsini taipe naʻe kole mei he kolo [ʻo e Siasí], peá ne ʻai ha tatau ʻo e ʻū laʻipepa ko ʻení, ʻa ia naʻá ne hanga mo Sinipei mo Uopi ʻo fakapipiki ki he papa fanongonongo ʻa e kau Nasí, tufaki he ʻū veʻehala femoʻuekiná, pea mono ki he ʻū puha meilí.8 Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo fakaafeʻi ʻe Hupinā ha ngaahi maheni toʻu tupu kehe ke nau tokoni. Naʻe tokoni ʻa Keahati Tiuea, ʻa ia naʻe ngāue fakataha mo Hupinā ʻi he Mafai Fakasōsiale ʻo Hamipokí (Sozialbehörde), ke fakalahi ʻa hono tufaki [ʻo e ʻū laʻipepa tufá]. ʻI ha fetuʻutaki taʻeʻiloa, naʻe toe fokotuʻutuʻu foki ʻe Hupinā ke hiki tatau ʻe ha mīsini paaki ʻi Kieli ʻa e ʻū laʻipepá ke toe lahi ange.9 ʻI ha māhina ʻe 10, kuo paaki ʻe Hupinā ha ʻū laʻipepa tufa kehekehe ke poleʻi ʻaki ʻa e pātí mo fakakikihi ʻaki ʻa e fakamatala fakaʻofisiale ʻo e taú. Naʻá ne fakaangaʻi fakahangatonu foki ha kau fakafofonga ʻo e pātí. Naʻe tohi ʻe Hupinā ʻi ha laʻipepa ʻe taha ʻo pehē, ʻE “ʻave kimoutolu [ʻe he Takí] ʻo tautau toko lauiafe ki he afí kae lava ke fakaʻosi e hia naʻá ne kamataʻí. ʻE lauiafe ʻa homou ngaahi uaifi mo e fānau te nau hoko ko e kau uitou mo e fānau paea. Pea ʻe iku noa pē!”10

ʻI Fēpueli ʻo e 1942, naʻe puke pōpula ʻe he kau fakafofonga Kesitapó ʻa Hupinā, Uopi, Sinipei, mo Tiuea ko e fakaʻilo ki ha ngaahi hia kehekehe ʻi he malumalu ʻo e lao ʻa e kau Nasí, kau ai ʻa e “teuteu ki he talisone fakatuʻutāmakí.”11 ʻI he ʻaho 11 ʻo ʻAokosí, lolotonga ha hopo naʻe laka hake he houa ʻe hivá, naʻe fakamāuʻi ai ʻa e toko faá ʻe ha mēmipa ʻe toko tolu ʻo e Fakamaauʻanga Makehe ʻa e Kakaí ʻi Pēliní.12 Naʻe halaia kotoa ʻa e toko faá. Naʻe tautea mate ʻa Hupinā, kae tauteaʻi ʻa Uopi, Sinipei mo Tiuea ke nau ngāue pōpula ʻi he ngaahi ʻapitangá ʻi ha taʻu ʻe 4 ki he 10. Naʻe tamateʻi ʻa Hupinā ʻaki e tuʻusi hono ʻulú ʻi he ʻaho 27 ʻo ʻOkatopa 1942.13

Hili ha taimi nounou mei hono puke pōpula ʻo Hupinaá, naʻe tohi ʻe he palesiteni fakakolo ko ʻAfa Sānitaá ʻa e “tuʻusi mei he Siasí” ʻi he lekooti mēmipasipi ʻo Helemutí. Ka naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa e palesiteni fakavahefonua ko ʻOto Pēnatí ke kaungā fakamoʻoni hingoa ki ai.
