Ne mahino pē naʻe sio ʻa e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ki ha meʻa fakaofo ʻi he talavou taʻu 25 ko Kōtoni Hingikelií; ko e fakataha ko ia naʻe fokotuʻutuʻu ke miniti ʻe 15, naʻe laka hake ia he houa ʻe tahá. ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe ua mei ai, naʻa nau kole ke ne haʻu ʻo ngāue ʻi he Siasí ʻo ne hoko ko e sekelitali ʻo ha Kōmiti ne toki fokotuʻutuʻu foʻou ki he Letioó, Tuʻuakí mo e Nāunau Ngāue Fakafaifekaú.
Ko e toki kamata pē ia e ngāue ʻa Kōtoni Pitinā Hingikelī ʻi he fekau ʻa e ʻEikí mo Hono Siasí. Naʻá ne kamata ʻaki ʻene hoko ko ha tokotaha ngāue totongi ʻa e Siasí, pea hoko atu mei ai ki heʻene hoko ko ha tokoni ki he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá pea mei ai ko ha ʻAposetolo, mo ha tokoni ki ha kau Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí ʻe toko tolu pea ko hono tumutumú ko ʻene hoko ko e Palesitení, ʻo ne ngāue mālohi ke ʻomi ʻa e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní “mei he kakapú pea mei he fakapoʻulí” (T&F 1:30) ke hoko ia ko ha “kolo ʻoku tuʻu ʻi ha moʻunga” (Mātiu 5:14) ʻo ulo atu hono māmá ki he kakaí.

Ko ha Fale ʻo e Ako
Naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻa Kōtoni Pitinā Hingikelī ki ha fāmili lotu mo anga fakaʻapaʻapa, ʻi he ʻaho 23 ʻo Sune 1910, pea ko e foha lahi ia ʻo ʻAita Pitinā mo Palaieni Situlingihemi Hingikelī, ko ha ongo faiako ne na fetaulaki lolotonga e hoko ʻa Palaieni ko e palesiteni ʻo e Kolisi Pisinisi ʻa e Siasí kae faiako lea faka-Pilitānia mo tohinima nounou ʻa ʻAita. Naʻe ʻosi mālōlō ʻa e ʻuluaki uaifi ʻo Palaiení ko Kilisitina, kae moʻui pē ʻa Palaieni mo ha fānau ʻe toko valu. Naʻá ne fakatahaʻi lelei ai mo ʻAita ʻa e fānau ko iá pea mo ʻena fānau ʻe toko nima.
Naʻe tupu hake ʻa Kōtoni ʻi ha ʻapi naʻe fonu he ʻū tohí, ʻo laka hake he ʻū tohi fakaako, fakahisitōlia mo fakafilōsefa ʻe laui afe, pea naʻá ne lava ai ʻo hoko ko ha tangata ne manako ʻaupito he laukongá. Naʻá ne loto ke fekumi maʻu pē ki he ʻiló, ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai pē lava ke fakalato ia ʻo aʻu ki heʻene fuʻu lahí.
Ka naʻe ʻikai ko e ʻū tohí pē mo e akó naʻe fakamoleki ki ai hono taimí heʻene kei siʻí. Naʻe fakatau mai ʻe hono fāmilí ha kiʻi faama ʻi he feituʻu fakaʻuta ʻo Milakiliki Hahaké, ʻo mavahe mei Sōleki Siti, ko ʻenau ʻamanaki ʻe fakamālohia ai ʻa hono sino vaivaí. ʻI he feituʻu ko iá he faʻahitaʻu māfaná, naʻe mohe ai ʻa Kōtoni ʻi tuʻa ʻi ha loto ʻataʻatā ʻi ha langi fetuʻuʻia, inu huʻakau foʻou mei he pulú mo ne ako ai ha ngaahi lēsoni mahuʻinga, hangē ko hono “ʻauhani ʻo e ʻuluʻakaú ʻi Sānuali ke nau laku fua fakaʻofoʻofa mai ʻi Sepitema.”1
Naʻe hanga ʻe he ʻofá, fakaʻapaʻapá mo e efiafi fakafāmili ʻi ʻapí ʻo fakatahatahaʻi ʻa e fāmili tokolahi ko ʻení.
ʻI he kei siʻi ʻa Kōtoní naʻá ne maʻu ai hono tāpuaki fakapēteliaké. Naʻe ʻoange ai kiate ia ha fakamatala fakakikite te ne “hoko ko ha takimuʻa maʻongoʻonga mo lototoʻa ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ʻIsilelí… . Te ke hoko maʻu pē ko ha talafekau ʻo e melinó; ʻe ongona ho leʻó ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo e māmaní pea te nau ʻilo ki he moʻoní ʻo fakafou ʻi he fakamoʻoni fakaʻofoʻofa te ke fakahokó.”2
Fakamālō Koeʻuhí ko e Tangatá
Naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālie ne aʻusia ʻe Kōtoni Hingikelī ʻi heʻene fatutangatá, ʻo kau ai ha meʻa makehe ʻe taha he ʻikai toe ngalo ʻi heʻene moʻuí. Naʻe momou ʻa Kōtoni ke ʻalu ki heʻene fuofua fakataha lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ʻa e siteikí heʻene kei tīkoní, ka naʻá ne ʻalu pē mo ʻene tangataʻeikí, ʻa ia naʻe nofo mai mei muʻa he ko ha mēmipa ia ʻo e kau palesitenisī fakasiteikí. Kapau naʻe ʻi ai ha faʻahinga ongoʻi momou naʻá ne maʻu, naʻe mōlia leva ia ʻi he ongo moʻoni ki hono laumālié ʻa e fakalea ʻo e fua hivá: “ʻOku mau fakamālō koeʻuhí ko e tangata naʻe fetuʻutaki mo Sihová! Naʻe pani ʻe Sīsū ʻa e Palōfita mo e Tangata Kikite ko iá.”3 Naʻá ne manatu kimui ange ʻo pehē: “Hangē naʻe hoko ha meʻa kiate au heʻeku fanongo ki hono hivaʻi ʻe he kau tangatá ʻa e hiva ko iá… . Ne u maʻu ai ha loto fakapapau ko e tangata ʻoku nau hiva ki aí ko ha palōfita moʻoni ia ʻa e ʻOtuá.”4
Kaumeʻa mo Māseilī
Naʻe ʻosi ʻa Kōtoni mei he ʻApiako Māʻolunga ʻa e Siasí ʻi he 1928, pea naʻá ne loto vekeveke ke kamata ako ʻi he ʻUnivēsiti ʻo ʻIutaá mo hoko atu ʻene ʻeva ki ha finemui he kauhala ʻe taha honau ʻapí. Ne talu pē ʻena tupu hake mo ʻena maheni. Naʻe kamata ke feohi ʻa e ongo tamaikí ni ʻi he ngaahi ʻekitivitī fakauōtí. Neongo naʻe fakamatala ʻe Kōtoni Hingikelī ia ko ha tangata “naʻe mā—fofonga teʻeteʻelangoa mo taʻefiemālie,”5 ka naʻe lau pē ʻe Māseilī ia ko e tōtōatu taha ia ʻi he feohiʻangá. Naʻá ne pehē, “Naʻá ne loto vēkeveke ʻaupito. Ko e taimi naʻe hū ai ʻa Kōtoni ki he lokí, ʻe tala fiefia mai leva ʻe hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, ‘Ko ʻeni ʻoku haʻú!’”6
Naʻe fakatupulaki ʻe Māseilī mo Kōtoni ha feohi vāofi ʻi he taimi naʻe hū ai ʻa Kōtoni ki he ʻUnivēsiti ʻo ʻIutaá, ko e fakataumuʻa ke maʻu hano mataʻitohi he faʻutohi lea faka-Pilitāniá. Mahalo naʻe tokoni ha niʻihi ʻo ʻene ngaahi kalasí ki he ongoʻi veiveiua naʻe ʻosi maʻu ʻe Kōtoni ko e ola ʻo e Tō Lalo Fakaʻekonōmiká. Naʻá ne manatu ʻo pehē, “Ko ha taimi fakalotosiʻi moʻoni ia, pea naʻe mālohi fau e ongo ko iá ʻi ʻapiako. Naʻe kamata ke u fehuʻia ha ngaahi meʻa, ʻo mahalo pē naʻe kau ai mo e tui ʻa ʻeku ongo mātuʻá. ʻOku ʻikai ko ha meʻa foʻou ia ki he fānau ako ʻunivēsití, ka naʻe fuʻu kovi ʻaupito e taimi ko iá… .

“Fakangaloʻi Koe ka ke ʻAlu ʻo Ngāue”
Kapau naʻe ʻi ai ha faʻahinga ongoʻi veiveiua naʻá ne fefaʻuhi mo ia ʻi he kolisí, naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke ne taʻofi ia mei heʻene kau kakato ki he Siasí. Naʻe lea ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī ʻo kau ki hono ngaahi ʻaho he kolisí, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻi hoku lotó ha ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá mo e ngāue maʻongoʻonga kuó ne hikiʻi hake au ki ʻolunga mei ha faʻahinga veiveiua pe ilifia.”8
ʻI Sune 1932 naʻe maʻu ai hono mataʻitohi BA mei he ʻUnivēsiti ʻo ʻIutaá. Naʻe ʻikai ke tuka ʻa Kōtoni ʻi he tuʻunga fakafonua ne aʻu ki ai e taʻe maʻu-ngāué, ʻa ia ko e peseti ʻe 30, ko ia naʻá ne palani ai ke ngāueʻi ha paʻanga lahi ange ke fakahoko ʻaki haʻane taumuʻa tāumamaʻo: ako ʻi he ʻUnivēsiti Faiongoongo ʻo Kolomupiá ʻi Niu ʻIoke Siti.
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻo e faingataʻaʻia fakaʻekonōmiká, naʻe toko siʻi pē ha kau talavou te nau palani ke ō ʻo ngāue fakafaifekaú pea naʻe toko siʻi foki mo e ngaahi fāmilí te nau lava ʻo fua ʻa e fakamolé. Ka naʻe fakaʻohovale ʻa e fanongo ʻa Kōtoni ki hono fehuʻi ange ʻe heʻene pīsopé pe ʻokú ne fakakaukau ke ʻalu ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau. Naʻe tali ʻe Kōtoni ʻa e uiuiʻí. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe malava ʻa Kōtoni ʻo fuesia fakapaʻanga ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú tupu mei heʻene faʻē ko ʻAitá, ʻa ia naʻe mālōlō tupu ʻi ha kanisā. Naʻe maʻu ʻe he fāmilí ha ʻakauni fakahū paʻanga naʻe tātānaki ʻe he fefiné ni mei he fanga kiʻi toenga silini ʻo ʻene fakataú, ko ʻene fakataumuʻa ke fakaʻaongaʻi ia ha ʻaho ki ha ngāue fakafaifekau hono ngaahi fohá. Naʻe malava ai ʻa Kōtoni ke ne ʻalu ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau ʻi Lonitoni ʻi he 1933.
Naʻe toe hoko atu ai ha meʻa fakalaumālie makehe. Naʻe faʻa fakamatala ki ai ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī ko e “ʻaho ne fai ai ʻeku filí… . Ko e meʻa lelei kotoa pē kuo hoko kiate au, ko e tupu ia mei he ʻaho ko iá.”9 Tupu mei he lotofoʻi ʻa Kōtoni ʻi heʻene malanga ki ha kakai naʻe ʻikai ke nau fie tokanga ki he ongoongoleleí mo e tukituki he ngaahi matapaá mo e ʻikai fakaava angé, naʻá ne faitohi ai ki heʻene tamaí: “ʻOku ou fakamoleki hoku taimí mo hoʻo paʻangá. ʻOku ʻikai ke u ʻilo pe ko e hā e ʻuhinga ʻoku ou kei nofo ai hení.”
Naʻe tali ange ʻe Palaieni Hingikelī, ko ha tangata poto mo fakatonutonu fakapotopoto, ʻo ne pehē, “Siʻi Kōtoni. Kuó u maʻu hoʻo tohí… . ʻOku taha pē ʻa e fokotuʻu ʻoku ou ʻoatú. Fakangaloʻi koe ka ke ʻalu ʻo ngāue. ʻOfa atu, mei hoʻo Tamaí.” Naʻe toʻotoʻo pē ʻe Kōtoni ʻa e tohí peá ne foki ki hono fale nofoʻangá mo ne fakakaukauloto ki he potu folofola naʻá ne ako heʻene ako folofola he pongipongi ko iá: “He ko ia ia ʻoku loto ke kalofaki ʻene moʻuí, ʻe mole ia; ka ko ia ia ʻe mole ʻene moʻuí koeʻuhí ko au mo e ongoongoleleí, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia” (Maʻake 8:35). Naʻá ne manatu ʻo pehē, “Ne u tūʻulutu peá u fai ha fuakava mo e ʻEikí te u feinga ke fakangaloʻi au ka u ʻalu ʻo ngāue.”10
ʻI he 1934, naʻe uiuiʻi ia ke ne hoko ko ha tokoni kia ʻEletā Siosefa F. Malolo ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá pea mo e palesiteni ʻo e Misiona ʻIulopé. Naʻe faʻu ʻe Kōtoni ha ngaahi fakamatala naʻe paaki ʻi he makasini ʻa e Siasí ko e Millennial Star pea naʻe mahuʻinga fau ki he ngāue fakafaifekaú, ʻo hā ia ʻi he makasini ko e London Monthly Pictorial. Naʻe fuʻu māʻolunga fau e fakatetuʻa ʻa Palesiteni Malolo ki he faifekau kei talavoú ni, ko ia naʻá ne fekau atu ai ʻa ʻEletā Hingikelī ke ne talanoa mo e pule lahi ʻo ha kautaha lahi ne nau fatongiaʻaki ha tohi naʻe hā ai ha ngaahi fakamatala loi fekauʻaki mo e Siasí.

Naʻe mali ʻa Kōtoni mo hono kaungāʻapí, kaumeʻa mo e ʻofaʻanga ko Māseilī Pei, ʻi he Temipale Sōlekí ʻi he ʻaho 29 ʻo ʻEpeleli, 1937.

Naʻe lahi ha ngaahi ngāue maʻongoʻonga mo ha ngaahi liliu ne hoko he Siasí lolotonga ʻene hoko ko ha tokoní.

Naʻe ongoʻi lāngilangiʻia makehe ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī he pulupulu ʻo e mafai naʻe ʻamanaki ke ne fatakí.

Naʻe ʻi ai ha ola lelei ʻo e fetuʻutaki tauʻatāina ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī mo e mītiá, talu ʻene tali ke ne ngāue maʻá e Siasí ʻi he 1935. Te ne hanga ʻeni ʻo fakahoko tonu ʻa hono tukufakaholo ko hono ʻomi ʻo e Siasí “mei he kakapú” (T&F 1:30).

ʻI heʻene hoko ko e Palesitení, naʻá ne hokohoko atu ʻene fakataha mo ha kau taki fakapolitikale mo ongoongoa ʻo e māmaní. ʻI Nōvema ʻo e 1995, naʻe foaki ai ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī mo ʻEletā Niila A.

ʻI he Lotolotonga ʻo e Kāingalotú
Naʻe fakamuʻomuʻa ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī ʻene fakataha mo e Kāingalotú ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē. Naʻá ne lea ʻi he konifelenisi lahi ʻo ʻEpeleli 1996 ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou tui fakapapau lolotonga ʻeku kei mālohí, te u folau ʻo feohi mo hotau kakaí ʻi ʻAmeliká ni mo muli ná foki. ʻOku ou fie feohi mo e kakai ʻoku ou ʻofa aí.”18 Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei hono fokotuʻu ia ko e Palesitení ʻi he 1995, naʻá ne folau atu ki he ʻOtu Motu Pilitāniá pea ko e kamataʻangá pē ia. ʻI he 1996 naʻá ne feohi ai mo e kāingalotu ʻo ha ngaahi fonua ʻe 22 ʻi ʻAmelika Lotoloto, ʻAmelika Tonga, ʻIulope pea mo ʻĒsia pea ʻi ha ngaahi vahefonua ʻe 13 ʻi ʻAmeliká. Naʻá ne hoko ko e fuofua Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí ke ʻaʻahi ki Siaina.
ʻI he ngaahi taʻu hoko aí, naʻá ne feinga pē ke fakahoko ia. Hangē ko ʻení, ʻi Sānuali ʻo e 2000, naʻá ne folau ai ʻi ha maile ʻe 23,000 (37,000-km), ʻi haʻane folau ʻaho ʻe 10 ki he Pasifikí, ʻo feʻiloaki mo e kāingalotu ʻi Kilipatí, ʻAositelēlia, ʻInitonīsia, Singapoa mo Kuamu. ʻI he 2004 naʻá ne fakatapui ai ʻa e Temipale ʻAkulā Kaná, ʻaʻahi ki he Kāingalotu ʻi Keipi Vetí mo ne folaua holo ʻa ʻIulope. ʻI he 2005, kuo laka hake he maile ʻe taha miliona kuo folaua ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī ʻi heʻene hoko ko ha palōfita ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he taʻu pē ʻe taha ko iá, ʻo ne folau ki Lūsia, Kōlea Tonga, Taiuani, Hongo Kongo, Naisīlia mo ha ngaahi fonua kehe.
Fakatatau mo e tataki ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelií, naʻe toe ala atu ai e Siasí ʻo tokoniʻi ʻa e kau faingataʻaʻia ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní. Hangē ko ʻení, ʻi he 1996, naʻe foaki ai ʻe he polokalama tokoni ʻofa fakaetangata ʻa e Siasí, ha vala ki ha kakai ʻe toko 8.7 miliona ʻi ha ngaahi fonua ʻe 58, pauni ʻe taha miliona (450,000 kg) ʻo e nāunau fakafaitoʻo mo fakaakó ki ha fonua ʻe 70, pea mo ha meʻatokoni feʻunga hono mahuʻingá mo e paʻanga U.S. $3.1 miliona, nāunau fakafaitoʻo mo ha tokoni fakangoue ki he feituʻu ʻo Kōlea Tokelau ne maʻutangī ʻe he hongé.19 ʻI Māʻasi 2000, naʻá ne fanongonongo ai ʻa hono fokotuʻu ʻo e Paʻanga Tokoni Fakaako Tuʻumaʻú, ke nō ʻe he kakai kei talavou ʻo e Siasí he funga ʻo e māmaní ke nau maʻu ai e ako fakaʻatamai mo e taukei fakangāue ʻoku fie maʻu ke nau maʻu ʻaki ha ngāue ʻoku feʻungá. ʻI he 2004–05, naʻe fai ai ʻe he Siasí ha tokoni lahi ki he niʻihi naʻe maʻutangī kinautolu ʻe he peau kula ʻi ʻĒsia Tongahahaké, afā ko Kataliná pea mo ha ngaahi fakatamaki fakanatula kehe ʻi ha ngaahi fonua kehekehe.

Naʻe hanga ʻe hono langa ʻo ha ngaahi fale toputapú ʻo fakahoko ha fatongia mahuʻinga ʻi he taimi naʻe pule ai ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelií. ʻI Siulai ʻo e 1997, naʻe fai ai ʻe he palōfitá ha lotu fakatapui ʻi hono tanupou ʻo e Senitā Konifelenisí ʻi Sōleki Siti. ʻI ʻEpeleli ʻo e 2000, naʻe fai ai ha konifelenisi lahi makehe ʻi he fale lahi ko iá, ʻa ia ne haofia ʻe ha kakai ʻe toko 21,000 pea ko e tokolahi ʻo kinautolu naʻe ʻikai lava ke nau fononga ki Sōleki Siti, ko e manavasiʻi he ʻikai maʻu hanau nofoʻanga ʻi he Tāpanekalé. Naʻe pehē ʻe ha tangata Siasi taʻu 72 mei Haʻamoa, “Ko e meimei taʻu ʻeni ʻe 50 mo ʻeku tatali ki he faingamālié ni talu ʻeku kau mai ki he Siasí.”20
ʻI ʻOkatopa 1997, naʻe fanongonongo ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī ʻe kamata langa ʻe he Siasí ha fanga kiʻi temipale iiki ʻi he ngaahi ʻēlia ʻoku toko siʻi ai ʻa e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí.

Naʻe laka hake he ngaahi temipale ʻe 70 naʻe langa ʻi ha ngaahi fonua ʻe 21, ʻi he taimi naʻá ne kei taki aí. ʻI ʻOkatopa 2005, naʻe tanupou ai ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī ha kelekele ke langa ai ha Laipeli Fakahisitōlia [fakaeonopooni] ʻo e Siasí he loto kolo ʻo Sōleki Sití, pea ʻoku fakafuofua ke kakato ia ki he konga ki loto ʻo e taʻu 2009.
Naʻe aʻu atu ki he ʻInitanetí e ngaahi feinga ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī ke langa hake ʻa e Siasí.

ʻI he ʻaho 29 ʻo ʻEpeleli 2003, naʻe fakamanatua ai ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī ha makamaile fakafoʻituitui, ko e lava ʻo ha taʻu ʻe 66 ʻo ʻene nofo malí. ʻI heʻene manatu ki heʻene nofo malí, naʻá ne aofangatuku ʻaki ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻe siʻi ange hono fakakaukauʻi ʻe ha husepāniti ia kae lahi ange ʻene fakakaukau hono uaifí, ʻe lahi ange ʻa e ngaahi ʻapi fiefia te tau maʻu ʻi he Siasí mo e funga ʻo e māmaní.”21
Naʻe ʻikai lava ha taʻu ʻe taha mei ai kuo mālōlō ʻa Sisitā Hingikelī, ʻi he ʻaho 6 ʻo ʻEpeleli 2004, ko e tupu mei hono taʻu motuʻá.
