ʻOku hounga kiate au e fakaafe ko ʻeni ke u fai atu ha leá pea ʻoku ou lotua ʻe fakaaʻu atu ʻe he Laumālié ʻa ʻeku fakamoʻoní mo ʻeku leá ki homou lotó.
ʻI heʻeku fakalaulauloto ki he moʻui ʻa hotau palōfita ʻofeiná ko Palesiteni Kōtoni B. Hingikelī, ʻoku ou manatu ai ki he kupuʻi lea ko ʻeni meia Henelī Uatisiuefi Longofelou:
Moʻui ʻa e kau tangata maʻongoʻongá ʻokú ne fakamanatu maí
ʻE lava ke ngaohi ʻetau moʻuí ke fakaʻeiʻeikí,
Pea ʻi he mavahe atú ʻokú ne tuku maí
Hono ʻīmisí ʻi he ʻoneʻone ʻo taimí.1
ʻI he ʻaho ní, ʻoku ou fakatauange ʻi heʻetau fakalāngilangiʻi ko ia ʻa hono tukufakaholó, te tau fakakaukauloto ai foki ki he “ʻīmisi he ʻoneʻone ʻo taimí” kuo tuku mai ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelií. Fakakaukau angé ki he meʻa ʻoku haʻu ki hoʻo fakakaukaú he taimi ʻoku ou lea ai ʻo kau ki he kuonga ʻo Palesiteni Kōtoni B. Hingikelií. ʻI he kiʻi taimi nounou ko ʻení, te u lave pē ki ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ʻīmisi lahi ne ongo taha kiate aú.
Ko Kōtoni B. Hingikelií ko ha tangata fakafetuʻutaki maʻongoʻonga. Naʻá ne fakaava ʻa e matapā ki he mītia ʻo e māmaní peá ne fakamahinoʻi e Siasí ki he funga ʻo e māmaní. Naʻá ne kamata he taʻu ʻe 70 tupu kuohilí heʻene foki mei he ngāue fakafaifekaú, ʻo ne tataki mai ʻa hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e filimi tuʻumaʻú (filmstrips), heleʻuhilá, fakatātā fakalanú, tohi tufá mo e nāunau ngāue fakafaifekaú ke fakamatalaʻi ʻaki hotau Siasí. ʻOku kei fakaʻaongaʻi pē he ʻahó ni ʻa e founga tatau, ka ʻoku toe lelei ange.
Naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kuonga ʻo Hingikelī ʻa e ʻīmisi ʻo e ngāue fakafaifekaú ki he funga ʻo e māmaní. ʻI he meimei taʻu ʻe 13 ko ʻeni ʻo e palesiteni ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelií, kuo laka hake he kau faifekau ʻe toko 400,000 kuo uiuiʻi, ʻo nau fakafofongaʻi ha peseti ʻe 40 ʻo ha kau faifekau kuo uiuiʻi talu mei hono fokotuʻu ʻo e Siasí. Meimei ko e vahe-tolu-ʻe-taha ʻo e kāingalotu kotoa he ʻaho ní naʻe papitaiso kinautolu lolotonga e palōfita ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī. ʻOku kei tuʻulāhoko pē he ʻahó ni ʻetau ngāue ke ikunaʻi e tukupā ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī ke fakatupulaki ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekaú mo hono pukepuke ʻo ʻetau kau ului foʻoú.
Mahalo ko e “ʻīmisi” ʻiloa mo taʻengata taha kuo tuku mai ʻe Palesiteni Kōtoni B. Hingikelī, ko hono langa ko ia ʻo ha ngaahi temipale foʻou ʻe meimei 75, talu mei heʻene hoko ko hotau Palesitení. ʻOku hoko ʻa e ouau kotoa pē ʻoku fakahoko ʻi he ngaahi temipalé ni, ko ha fakamoʻoni ki he vīsone mo e poto fakapalōfita ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī ke ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi temipalé ke toe ofi ange ki he kakaí. ʻOku tau fakafetaʻi ʻi heʻetau hoko ko ha fakafoʻituitui mo ha Siasi ʻi he tukufakaholo fakaofo ko ʻení.
Ko ha meʻa ʻe taha ne fakaofo mo manakoa ai e “ʻīmisi” kuo tuku mai ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelií, ko ʻene poto he tukuhuá. Ko e toko taha kotoa pē naʻe feohi mo ia pe fanongo ʻi haʻane lea, te nau manatuʻi ha meʻa naʻe hoko ʻa ia naʻe hāsino makehe ai ʻene poto he tukuhuá.
ʻOku ou manatuʻi ha meʻa ne hoko he ngaahi taʻu kuohilí, hili ʻene kamata fakaʻaongaʻi ha tokotokó. Ne u aʻu mai ki he ʻŌfisi Pule ʻo e Siasí meimei ki he taimi 7:00 pongipongí nai pea ʻi he fakaofi atu ki he lifí, ne u sio kia Palesiteni Hingikelī mo ha ʻōfisa leʻo ʻokú na haʻu ki he lifí. Ne u lomiʻi ke ava ʻa e matapā ʻo e lifí peá u hū atu ki loto, ʻo u pukepuke fakaava pē ʻa e matapaá. Ne u fanongo atu pē ki he fakaofiofi mai ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī mo hono tokotokó. ʻI heʻene haʻu ʻoku kei ava atu e matapaá, naʻá ne sio mai kiate au mo lue pē peá ne pehē mai, “ʻE ʻEli, muʻomuʻa atu koe he lifí. Te u kaka atu au he sitepú.” Naʻe mapuni e matapā ʻo e lifí. Ne u ongoʻi mā. Ne u heka fiemālie hake ki he fungavaka ne u ʻi aí, lolotonga iá ʻoku kaka sitepu hake e palōfita ʻa e ʻEikí ia ki hono ʻōfisí.
ʻI he taimi ʻe taha, ʻi he hū atu e Kau Taki Māʻolungá—ʻi honau suti lanu fakapōpōʻulí mo e sote hiná mo hēkesí—ki ha fakataha mo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí, ne kiʻi malimali ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī mo ne sio mai ʻo pehē mai, “ʻOku mou hangē kotoa mai ha fanga penikuiní.”
Te tau manatu ʻofa ki heʻene poto he tukuhuá.
Ko Palesiteni Hingikelií ko ha tangata mohu faiva mo taukei. Naʻe lahi fau e meʻa naʻá ne mahuʻingaʻia aí mo e ngaahi taukei naʻá ne maʻú. ʻI hono langa ʻo e Senitā Konifelenisí, ʻa ia ko e taha ia e ngaahi tukufakaholo maʻongoʻonga ʻo Palesiteni Hingikelī, kuo tau mātā ai ki hono toe fakalakalaka ange ʻo e hivá mo e faivá ʻi he Siasí. ʻOku toe lelei ange ʻetau moʻuí ko e lahi ange ʻo e faingamālie ki he ngaahi anga fakafonua ko ʻení.
Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi polokalama lahi taha kuo hoko ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi “ʻīmisi” kuo tuku mai ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelií, ko e ako fakaʻatamai ʻi he Siasí. Ko e fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo e ʻUnivēsiti Pilikihami ʻIongí pea mo hono fakalahi ʻo e ngaahi ʻapiako BYU–Idaho, BYU–Hawaii, LDS Business College pea mo e Ako Fakalotu ko e Seminelí mo e ʻInisititiutí pea ko e fakafōtunga ia ʻo ʻene ʻofa ʻi he akó mo e fānau akó. Naʻe toe maʻongoʻonga ange ʻa hono tukufakaholó he taʻu ʻe fitu kuohilí, ʻi heʻene fokotuʻu ʻa e Polokalama Tokoni Fakaako Tuʻumaʻú. Meimei ko ha fānau ako ʻe toko 30,000 he funga ʻo e māmaní ʻoku toe lelei ange ʻenau moʻuí ko e tupu mei he ngaahi faingamālie ako makehe ko ʻení.
Mahalo ko e toko siʻi pē ʻe mahino ki aí, ka ʻoku fuʻu mahuʻinga fau ʻi hono fakalele ʻo e Siasí, ʻa hono fokotuʻu ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī e Ngaahi Kōlomu ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú, ʻo hoko ia ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi kōlomu pule ʻi he Siasí. Ne hanga ʻe hono liunga fā e tokolahi ʻo e ngaahi kōlomú pea mo e kau mēmipa ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú, ʻo tokoniʻi e tupulaki mo hono fakalele ʻo e Siasí mo fakahoko ai ʻa e fekau ʻoku ʻomi he folofolá ki he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ke nau “ui ki he Kau Fitungofulú ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau fie maʻu ai ha tokoní, ke tali ʻa e ngaahi kole kehekehe ke malanga ʻaki mo ʻoatu ʻa e ongoongoleleí, kae ʻikai ki ha niʻihi kehe.”2
Mahalo ko e “ʻīmisi” fakafoʻituitui mo manatua fuoloa taha ʻo Palesiteni Hingikelī, ko ʻene ʻofa ʻi hono kakaí. Mahalo ko e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻo kitautolu he funga ʻo e māmaní, ʻoku ʻi ai haʻatau manatu ʻofa makehe kia Palesiteni Hingikelī. ʻOfa pē ʻe fakafofongaʻi ʻe heʻeku leá ha konga hoʻomou ngaahi fakakaukaú—ʻo kapau ne mou maʻu ha faingamālie ke fakahaaʻi kinautolu heni he ʻahó ni.
