Taʻu ʻe Fitungofulu Mā Nima ʻo e Moʻui Fakapotopotó
Neongo naʻe teʻeki ai fokotuʻu ʻa e palani uelofea ʻa e Siasí, ka naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa hono mahuʻinga ʻo e moʻui fakafalala pē kiate kitá, ʻa e tokangaʻi ʻo e masivá mo e faingataʻaʻiá, mo e tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé. Naʻe pehē ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, “Ko e tangata ʻoku fonu ʻi he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku ʻikai fiemālie ia ʻi hono tāpuakiʻi pē hono fāmilí, ka ʻoku feʻaluʻaki he funga ʻo e māmaní, ke tāpuekina ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.”1
Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei hono fokotuʻu ʻo e Siasí, naʻe langa ha fanga kiʻi fale tukuʻanga koloa ʻa e kau pīsopé mo ha ngaahi ʻōfisi vahehongofulu ke tokoniʻi ʻa e kau faingataʻaʻiá. Naʻe kamata ʻe Siosefa Sāmita hono tānaki ʻo e foaki ʻaukaí ʻi Ketilani, ʻi ʻOhaiō, lolotonga e ngaahi taʻu ʻo e 1830.2 Naʻe fakafeʻiloaki foki mo e tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e vahehongofulú lolotonga e vahaʻataimi ko ʻení (vakai, T&F 119). Naʻe totongi ʻa e paʻanga vahehongofulú mo e foaki ʻaukaí ʻo fakafou ʻi he ngāue, koloa, mo e ngaahi meʻa kehe pē. Naʻe tokangaʻi ʻe he kau pīsopé hono tufaki ʻo e ngaahi maʻuʻanga tokoni ko ʻení ʻi he ngaahi founga tatau pē mo ia ʻoku fakahoko he ʻaho ní.3
Naʻe fāinga e tokolahi ʻo e Kāingalotu ʻi he kamataʻangá ke tauhi kinautolu. Naʻe ngāue fakataha e kau taki ʻo e Siasí mo e kāingalotú ke maʻu ha ngaahi founga ke nau ngāue ai ke tauhi ʻaki kinautolu mo taʻofi ai ʻa e nofo noá. Naʻe ngāue ha niʻihi ʻi hono langa ʻo e ngaahi fale ʻo e Siasí mo fakakakato e ngaahi ngāue ʻa e puleʻangá. Naʻe faama ʻa e niʻihi mo fakatau atu e ngaahi koloa ke nau moʻui ai mo honau ngaahi fāmilí. ʻI he ngāue fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotú, naʻe tāpuakiʻi kinautolu ʻaki ha meʻa feʻunga ke feau ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi fie maʻú.
Neongo ʻoku kehe ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa ia ʻo hotau kuongá ni, ka ʻoku kei hokohoko atu pē ʻa e tokonaki ʻa e Kāingalotú maʻanautolu mo tokangaʻi ʻa e paeá mo e faingataʻaʻiá ʻaki ʻenau muimui ʻi he ngaahi akonaki ʻa e Fakamoʻuí mo e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga kuo tā ʻe he ngaahi toʻu tangata kimuʻá.
