ʻOku ou fakatauange ke tau takitaha fakaʻapaʻapa ki he Fakamoʻuí mo fai ha liliu pē ʻoku fie maʻu ke tau sio ai kiate kitautolu ʻi Hono ngaahi temipale toputapú.

ʻOku ʻikai faʻa lava ke mākupusi e mafola atu e palani ʻo e Fakamoʻui ʻa e ʻEikí he lolotonga ʻo e kuonga fakakosipelí ni.1 ʻOku hā ʻeni ʻi hono fakahā ʻe Palesiteni Tōmasi S. Monisoni e temipale foʻou ʻe 4 ʻi he fakataha ko ʻeni ʻo e konifelenisí. Ko e taimi ne ui ai ʻa Palesiteni Monisoni ko e ʻAposetoló he 1963, ko e temipale pē ʻe 12 ne fakaʻaongaʻi ʻi he māmaní.2 ʻI hono fakatapui ko ia ʻo e Temipale Polovo Siti Senitaá, ʻoku ʻi ai he taimí ni ha temipale ʻe 150, pea ʻe ʻi ai ha temipale ʻe 177 ʻi he ʻosi hono fakatapui e ngaahi temipale kotoa kuo fanongonongó. Ko ha meʻa ʻeni ke tau fiefia ai ʻi he loto fakatōkilalo.

ʻI he ʻaho peheni he taʻu ʻe teau valungofulu kuo hilí, ʻi he ʻaho 3 ʻo ʻEpeleli 1836, naʻe hoko ai ha meʻa-hā-mai maʻongoʻonga ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá mo ʻŌliva Kautele ʻi he Temipale Ketilaní. Naʻe hoko ʻeni hili ha uike pē taha mei he fakatapui ʻo e temipalé. Naʻá na mamata ʻi he meʻa-hā-maí ni ʻoku tuʻu ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he funga tuʻunga malanga ʻo e temipalé. Naʻe kau ʻeni he ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakahā ange ʻe he ʻEikí:

“Tuku ke fiefia mo e loto ʻo hoku kakaí kotoa pē, ʻa ia kuo nau langa ʻaki honau tūkuingatá ʻa e falé ni, ki hoku hingoá.

“He vakai, kuó u tali ʻa e falé ni, pea ʻe ʻi heni ʻa hoku hingoá; pea te u fakahā au ʻe au ki hoku kakaí ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻi he falé ni.”3

Naʻe hā ʻi he meʻa toputapu ko iá, ha kau palōfita ʻo e kuonga muʻá, kau ai ʻa ʻIlaisiā, ʻo ne fakafoki mai ʻa e ngaahi kī mahuʻinga ʻo e ngaahi ouau fakatemipalé.

ʻOku tau ongoʻi ʻa e faʻahinga fiefia ʻoku hoko ʻi Kuito, ʻEkuetoa; Halale, Simipāpuē; Pēlemi, Palāsila; pea mo Lima, Pēlū, ʻo fakatou tatau pē ki he kāingalotú mo e kau faifekaú, fakatatau mo e meʻa ne hoko ʻi Pengikoki, Taileni, ʻi he taimi ne fakahā ai e temipale ko iá he taʻu ʻe taha kuo hilí. Naʻe ʻīmeili ʻa Sisitā Seli Sīnia, ko e uaifi ʻo Tēvita Sīnia, ko e palesiteni fakamisiona ʻo Taileni he taimi ko iá, ki he fāmilí mo e kaungāmeʻá hili ʻenau fanongo ki hono fakahā ʻe Palesiteni Monisoni e temipalé, ne “houa ʻe 12 ʻenau taʻe-mamohé pea tō mo e ngaahi loʻimata lahi ʻo e fiefia.” Naʻá na telefoni ki he ongo ʻasisiteni he misioná ʻi he 11:30 efiafi ke fakahā kiate kinaua. Naʻe telefoni leva e ongo ʻasisitení ki he kau faifekaú kotoa. Ne aʻu mai ʻa e lipōtí naʻe “ʻā kotoa e misioná ʻi he tuʻuapoó ʻo hopohopo ʻi honau funga mohengá.” Ne kiʻi tūkuhua ange ʻa Sisitā Sīnia ki he fāmilí mo e kaungāmeʻá, “Kātaki ʻo ʻoua ʻe ʻai ke ʻilo ʻe he Potungāue Ngāue Fakafaifekaú!”4

Naʻe tatau pē mo e ongoʻi fakalaumālie lahi ʻa e kāingalotu ʻi Tailení. ʻOku ou tui kuo ʻosi ʻi ai ha ngaahi teuteu fakalaumālie ʻi he lotó mo e ngaahi ʻapí pea mo ha ngaahi fakahā mei he langí ʻi he teuteu ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻo e feituʻu ʻe tuʻu ai ʻa e ngaahi temipale foʻou ne toki fakahaá.

ʻOku ʻi ai ha fanga kiʻi sioʻata ʻa Sisitā Sīnia ʻi Taileni, naʻe ngaohi makehe ki heʻene talatalaifale fakatāutahá, tautefito ki he kau sisitaá. Naʻe ʻi ai ha temipale ne tā ʻi he sioʻatá mo e fakalea ko ʻení, “Sio Kiate Koe ʻi he Loto Temipalé.” Ko e taimi ʻoku sio ai ʻa e kakaí ki he sioʻatá, ʻoku nau sio kiate kinautolu ʻi he loto temipalé. Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Sisitā Sīnia ʻa e kau fiefanongó mo e kāingalotú ke nau fakakaukau kiate kinautolu ʻi he loto temipalé pea fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi liliu ne fie maʻu ki heʻenau tōʻonga moʻuí mo e ngaahi teuteu fakalaumālié ke aʻusia e taumuʻa ko iá.

Ko ʻeku tukupā he pongipongí ní ke tau takitaha fakakaukau kiate kitautolu ʻi he loto temipalé, ko e fē pē ha potu ʻokú ke nofo ai. Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Monisoni: “Kuo teʻeki ai ke ke maʻu kakato e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku lava ke ʻoatu ʻe he Siasí kae ʻoua kuó ke hū ʻi he Fale ʻo e ʻEikí. Ko e tāpuaki mahuʻinga mo fungani taha ʻo ʻetau kau ki he Siasí ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ko ia ʻoku tau maʻu ʻi he ngaahi temipale ʻo e ʻOtuá.”5

Neongo e tōnounou he angamāʻoniʻoní ʻi he māmaní he ʻaho ni, ka ʻoku tau moʻui ʻi ha taimi toputapu mo māʻoniʻoni. Kuo laui senituli hono fakamatalaʻi hotau kuongá ʻe he kau palōfitá, ʻi he loto ʻofa mo e fakaʻānaua.6

ʻOku tau ʻilo ko e angamāʻoniʻoní mo e fakamāʻoniʻoniʻí ko ha ongo konga mahuʻinga ia ʻo e teuteu ki he temipalé.

ʻI he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá vahe 97, ʻoku pehē ai, “Pea ʻe fakatatau ki he hanga ʻe hoku kakaí ʻo langa ha fale kiate au ʻi he huafa ʻo e ʻEikí, pea ʻikai tuku ke hū ki ai ha meʻa taʻemaʻa, koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa ʻuliʻi iá, ʻe nofo ai ʻa hoku nāunaú.”11

Naʻe fakamoʻoni hingoa ʻa e Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí ʻi he lekomeni temipalé ʻo aʻu mai ki he 1891, ke maluʻi e ngeia ʻo e temipalé. Naʻe toki foaki leva ʻa e fatongia ko iá ki he kau pīsopé mo e kau palesiteni fakasiteikí.
