“Mou Teuteu ki he Hāʻele Mai ʻa e Tangata Taʻané”

Naʻe akonaki ʻa Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingi ʻo pehē: “Naʻe kamata hono Fakafoki mai ʻo e ongoongoleleí mei ha fehuʻi loto fakatōkilalo ne fakakaukauʻi ʻi ha ʻapi lelei, pea ʻe lava ke hokohoko atu ia ʻi hotau ʻapí takitaha” (“Ko ha ʻApi ʻOku ʻAfio ai e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí,” Ensign pe Liahona, Mē 2019, 25).

ʻI he meimei māhina ʻe 19 hono fokotuʻu e Siasí, naʻe fokotuʻutuʻu ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá mo ha kau taki kehe ʻo e Siasí ha palani ke fakatahatahaʻi ha ngaahi fakahā ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ʻaho kimui ní ki ha tohi pē ʻe taha pea paaki ha tatau ʻe 10,000—ʻo liunga ua ʻi he ʻuluaki paaki ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Ko e meʻapangó, naʻe taʻofi e ngaahi palani ko ʻení ʻi he lahi e ngaahi fakamolé, pea naʻe ʻohofi ʻe he kau fakatangá e fale paaki ʻo e Siasí lolotonga e pākí.

Neongo naʻe ʻikai fakahoko e ngaahi ʻuluaki palani ki he Tohi ʻo e Ngaahi Fekaú, ka ko e fakahā ko ʻení ko ha fakamanatu mo e fakamoʻoni ia he ʻikai lava ʻo taʻofi e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí, “he te ne fakahā hono toʻukupu māʻoniʻoní … , pea ʻe mamata ʻa e ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻo e māmaní ki he fakamoʻui ʻa hotau ʻOtuá” (veesi 3).
