“Kuo Pau ke Fai ʻa e Ngaahi Meʻa Kotoa Pē ʻo Maau”
ʻI he faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻo e 1830, naʻe tohi ʻa ʻŌliva Kautele kia Siosefa Sāmita mei he ʻapi ʻo Pita Uitemaá, ʻa ē naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻa e Siasí ʻi he konga kimuʻa ʻo e taʻu ko iá: “ʻOku ou fekauʻi koe ʻi he huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá ke toʻo ʻa e ngaahi lea ko ʻení, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi ai ha ngāue fakataulaʻeiki kākā ʻiate kitautolu.” Naʻe mahino ʻa ʻene fuʻu ongoʻi mālohí, ka ko e hā ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne fuʻu fakahohaʻasi peheʻi ʻa e Kaumātuʻa Hono Ua ʻo e Siasí ke fuʻu lea mālohi pehē ai ki he Palōfitá?
Naʻe ʻosi hiki foki ʻe ʻŌliva Kautele, ʻi ha tuʻutuʻuni fakalangi, ha tohi naʻe ui ko e “Ngaahi Fakamatala ʻa e Siasi ʻo Kalaisí” ʻa ia naʻe fetongi kimui ʻe ha tohi fika ua naʻe hiki ʻe Siosefa, naʻe ui ko e “Ngaahi Fakamatala mo e Ngaahi Fuakava ʻo e Siasi ʻo Kalaisí.” Naʻe ngāue ʻaki ʻe he fakamatala ʻa Siosefá ha konga lahi ʻo e fakalea tatau ka naʻe tānaki atu ha ngaahi fakamatala mahuʻinga ʻo fakamahino mo fakalahi ʻa e meʻa naʻe ʻuluaki tohi ʻe ʻŌlivá. Naʻe tali kimui ʻe he Siasí ʻa e fakamatala ʻa Siosefá ʻi he konifelenisi ʻo Sune 1830 ke nau haʻisia ki ai. Neongo hono tali ʻe he Siasí ka naʻe ʻikai ke tali ʻe ʻŌliva ia ha kupuʻi lea ʻi he lisi ʻo e ngaahi fiemaʻu ki he papitaisó ʻoku pehē: “Pea fakahaaʻi moʻoni ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi ngāué kuo nau ʻosi maʻu ʻa e Laumālie ʻo Kalaisí ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻenau ngaahi angahalá.”
Mahalo naʻe fakakaukau ʻa ʻŌliva ʻoku ʻi ai ʻene totonu ke fai ha ngaahi liliu ki he fakamatalá koeʻuhí he naʻe ʻi ai ʻene kaunga ki he tohi ʻo e fakaleá. Neongo ia, naʻe ʻikai ke tui pehē ʻa Siosefa mo fakamahinoʻi ko e fiemaʻu ko iá naʻe maʻu ia ʻi he fakahā. Ko ʻene talí, naʻe ʻeke ai ʻe Siosefa “ko e mafai mei fē ʻokú ne [ʻŌliva] maʻu ke fekauʻi mai au ke u liliu, pe tamateʻi, ke tānaki pe toʻo ha meʻa mei ha fakahā pe fekau mei he ʻOtua Māfimafí.”
Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei ai, naʻe kamata fononga ʻa Siosefa mei hono ʻapí ʻi Hāmoni, ʻi Penisiliveniá, ke feʻiloaki mo ʻŌliva ʻi he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Uitemaá ʻi Feieti, ʻi Niu ʻIoke. ʻOku lekooti ʻe he hisitōlia ʻa Siosefá, “Naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ʻoku [poupouʻi] ʻe he fāmili [Uitemaá] ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa [ʻŌlivá] … pea naʻe fakatou fiemaʻu ha ngāue lahi mo ha kātaki ke u lava ʻo fakalotoʻi ha taha ʻo kinautolu ke fai ha talanoa lelei ki he kaveingá.” Ko hono ikuʻangá, “Naʻá ku lavaʻi ʻo ʻikai ngata pē ʻi hono fakafoki mai ʻa e fāmili Uitemaá kae pehē foki mo ʻŌliva Kautele ke nau ʻiloʻi naʻa nau fehalaaki.”
ʻI he ʻaonga ʻo e ngaahi taʻu lahi ʻo ʻene ngaahi aʻusiá, naʻe toki tohi ai kimui ʻe Siosefa ʻi heʻene fakalaulauloto ki he meʻá ni, “Pea ko ia ai naʻe lava ke toʻo atu ʻa e maʻu hala ko ʻení, ʻa ia naʻe tupu mei ha fakamahamahalo mātuʻaki hala mo taʻemoʻoni, ʻa ia naʻe taumuʻa pehē pē ia (ka ʻi he taimi pē ʻoku mahino lelei aí) te ne akoʻi kotoa kitautolu ki he fiemaʻu ke tau angafakatōkilalo, mo angavaivai ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻEikí, ke ne lava ʻo akoʻi ʻene ngaahi foungá kiate kitautolu; kae lava ke tau ʻaʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi halá, pea moʻui ʻaki ʻa e folofola kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu atu mei hono fofongá.”
Neongo ia, naʻe ʻikai ko ha meʻa faingofua pē ke ako mei he meʻa naʻe hokó. ʻI ha ngaahi māhina siʻi mei ai, naʻe toe fiemaʻu ke hanga ʻe Siosefa ʻo fakamahinoʻi moʻoni hono mafai ko e tokotaha fakahoko fono ia ʻo e fakahaá. Naʻe fakatupu ʻe he fakatanga takai ʻi hono ʻapi ʻi Hāmoni, ʻi Penisiliveniá, ke hiki ai ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma ʻo nofo mo e fāmili Uitemaá ʻi ʻAokosi 1830. ʻI heʻena aʻu atu ki aí, naʻe ʻilo ai ʻe Siosefa naʻe ngāue ʻaki ʻe Hailame Peisi, ko e husepāniti ʻo e taha e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo e fāmili Uitemaá, ha foʻi maka ke maʻu ai ha ongo fakahā fekauʻaki mo e Siasí.
Mahalo ko ʻene manatuʻi ʻa ʻene fakalotoʻi ʻa ʻŌliva Kautele mo e fāmili Uitemaá ke fakatonutonu ʻenau fehalaaki fekauʻaki mo e “Ngaahi Fakamatalá mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá,” naʻe feinga taumuʻa ai a Siosefa ke nau talanoa pē kae ʻoleva ke toki aʻu ki he konifelenisi ʻe toki fakahoko ʻi Sepitemá. Neongo ia, naʻe vave hono ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosefa ko e tui ki he fakahā naʻe pehē ʻe Hailame Peisi naʻá ne maʻú, kuo mafola lahi ia ʻo tui ki ai mo ha kakai tokolahi, ʻo lahi ange he meʻa naʻá ne fakakaukau ki aí, ko ia naʻe kole ai ʻe Siosefa ha fakahā ki he meʻá ni.
Naʻe fakapatonu mai ʻa e fakahaá kia ʻŌliva Kautele. Naʻe fakapapauʻi kia ʻŌliva ʻe ongona hono leʻó ka naʻe fakatokanga ange “ʻe ʻikai ke fili ha taha ke ne Maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fekaú & ngaahi Fakahaá ʻi he Siasi ko ʻení tukukehe pē ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siosefá he ʻokú ne Maʻu ia ʻo hangē ko Mōsesé & kuo pau ke ke talangofua ki he ngaahi meʻa te u ʻoange kiate iá.”
ʻE hangē pē ʻa ʻŌliva kia Siosefá ko ʻĒlone kia Mōsesé, ʻo hoko ko ha faiako mo ha tangata lea. Ko ʻene ʻuluaki ngāue ʻi hono fatongia ko iá ke ne fakalotoʻi ʻa Hailame Peisi ʻi heʻene maʻuhala fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fakahā mei heʻene foʻi maká. Ko hono uá, te ne ʻalu ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau ki he kau ʻInitia ʻAmeliká.
Ko e taimi naʻe fakahoko ai ʻa e konifelenisí ʻi he konga kimui ʻo Sepitemá, ʻoku fakamatala ʻe he lekooti ʻa Siosefa Sāmita naʻe toki hiki kimuí, “Naʻe fai hano aleaʻi ʻo e maka ko ia naʻe fai ki ai e talanoa kimuʻá, pea hili hono fai ha fakatotolo lahi, naʻe loto ʻa Brother Peisi mo hono kotoa ʻo e siasí naʻe ʻi aí, ke siʻaki ʻa e foʻi maká, mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekauʻaki mo iá, pea mau fuʻu fiefia mo fiemālie kotoa ki ai.” ʻOku lekooti ʻe he ngaahi miniti nounou ʻa ʻŌliva Kautelé “naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa [Siosefa Sāmita] ʻe kinautolu naʻe ʻi he Konifelenisí ke ne maʻu mo tohi ʻa e Ngaahi Fakahā & Ngaahi Fekau ki he Siasí ni.”
Naʻe faʻa maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha ngaahi fakahā mo e ngaahi fekau, ka ko e lahi taha ʻo kinautolú naʻe ʻikai ke pulusi ia ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu lahi, ʻo fakangatangata ai pē hono malava ke maʻu ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo e Siasí. ʻI he taimi tatau, naʻe maʻu mei he ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa e Siasí ha kau papi ului foʻou tokolahi ʻaupito. Naʻe kei tokolahi pē ha kau mēmipa naʻe ʻikai ke nau fakatokangaʻi mo ʻikai ke mahino, pe fili pē ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakahā naʻá ne fakamahino mai ʻa e fatongia ʻo Siosefá, pea kei hoko atu pē ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi hono fakahā loi naʻa nau maʻu ha fakahā maʻá e Siasí.
Naʻe ʻikai ke fuʻu fuoloa mei he hiki atu ʻa e Siasí mei Ketilani ki ʻOhaioó, mo e haʻu ha “fefine ko hono hingoá ko Hāpolo” ʻo pehē ʻoku ʻi ai haʻane ngaahi fakahā. Naʻe toe maʻu mo ha fakahā ʻoku (ʻiloa he taimí ni ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 43) ʻo fakamahinoʻi mai ko Siosefa tokotaha pē kuo “fokotuʻu atu kiate kimoutolu ke ne maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fekaú & ngaahi fakahaá mei hoku nimá” pea toe tānaki mai “pea he ʻikai ha taha ʻe toe fokotuʻu ke ne maʻu ʻa e meʻafoaki ko ʻení tukukehe pē kapau ko e fakafou mai ʻiate ia.”
Ko e tokāteline ko ia ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi hāsino ʻa e Laumālie Maʻoniʻoní naʻe fakaafeʻi ai ʻa e kau mēmipá ke nau fekumi ki he meʻafoaki ʻo e fakahaá maʻanautolu. Neongo ia, ki he Siasí fakalūkufua, ko e faʻunga naʻe kamata mo e founga ngāue naʻe fakamahinoʻi ai ko Siosefa Sāmita pē taha ʻoku fakamafaiʻi ke ne talaki ʻa e fakahaá, ʻe hoko ia ko ha meʻa pau ki he kau mēmipa kotoa ʻo e Siasí. Pea “hangē,” ko e fakahā ʻi Sepitema 1830 kia ʻŌliva Kautelé, “kuo pau ke fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo maau.”
