Nanumea, te Malo, & te Lotu
A mea konei e pela me ni pou e apai kae puke fakatahi e ia a ‘tou fenua ko Nanumea. E tonu me e gallue tahi katoa moo te ‘lei o Nanumea kae, i te faka’tau atu, e ‘tau ailoa latou o tuu mavaevae, o ‘tuu taki tahi ailoa i te ia, iloo te palu fakatahi, me e fifi kii iai kae faigataa te fakahaele kimua o ‘tou fenua.
I po mua koi tuu tokotahi iai a Nanumea, ni aogaa kae taugatonu ke hahai tahi katoa latou nei, kae koa heke la a po nei.
He pulaaga moo Nanumea o atafata..
Does anyone on this page speak English? I am an elderly woman living in Florida. I recently completed a short novel based on your island. My husband, now dead, was stationed there during World War II. I fear that much of what I have written may be factually flawed as I had to rely on my husband’s memory from many years ago.
“SOCIAL REFORM” moo NANUMEA
Koa oko mai a Nanumea ki te ituutau o te ola o te paneta tenei, tela koa takua ko te “Information Age” (koa makkini pela mo te llapa o te uila ona mea hokotaki), a te iloa o te tagata (knowledge) koa tuutonu hoki te laa. Tela la, koa ttau o fai ni fakamafuliga ki ona fakanohonohoga (social structure, culture & traditions, etc.) ke olotahi mo te mafuliga io me ko manakooga o te taimi.
Tahi o mea taaua ke ppula ki ai ttou fenua, ko te fakanohooga o tena Pouloto, tela ni hahai kae fakamautaki mai e ia gaatama o Tefolaha o fakafeagai ki ai a fili e uke mai tai, talu mai te taimi ni filigina ai a Nanu-ga-o-mea e Te Folaha ke fai mo tona fenua ke oko mai ailoa ki po ni oko mai ai te Lotu mo te Malo o Peletania. Kae i po nei, a te Nohoaga ni malu iai a Nanumea i po mua koa fai mo mea e fifi kii ai taumafaiga ke fakafoki a Nanumea o tahi, pela mo po mua. Te fesili, me ka iaa la koa penaa iai? Taku tali, “Te Pouloto, e he noho i ona nohoga tonu!”
A igoa o Aliki tuutuu o Nanumea konei ailoa, kae e heai ake:
A. Ko fanau a Te Folaha i tena avaga ko Laukite:
1. Koli (he fafine, ka ko te toekimua) – Te Aliki Fai Aliaa, i tona tulaga he fafine, ko ia e fai ona manakoga ki te Nohoaga (Aliki) o te Aliki a Mua ke fakamanava e tona taina, ko te Aliki a Tua, manafai koa lavaki a uta mo tai kae faigataa te olaga o tagata o te fenua.
2. Teilo – Te Aliki a Mua (Aliki Hopo)
3. Tepaa – Te Aliki a Tua (Aliki Hopo)
B. Ko fanau a Te Folaha i tena avaga i te lua, he Tonga ko Puleala:
1. Tuutaki – Te Tufa (o te maumea o te Nohoaga), Te tausi o te Kaumaile
2. Fiaola – Te Nifo (o te maumea o te Nohoaga), Te tausi o te Fale Olioli
3. Lavega – Te Leoleo ( o te Nohoaga), Te tausi o Nanumea i mea ttupu, ko ia hoki a fakanohonoho e ia sose faigaamea iluga i Nanumea aofia iai ko te fakahopoga o te Aliki.
Konaa ailoa a igoa Aliki e iai ni olotou fakamanuiaga mai te olotou tamana ko Te Folaha. E he mafai e tatou o fakanoho te Aliki e tahi ki te ‘nohoaga’ o te sua Aliki, me i fakanohonohoga konaa e he ni ‘palota’ e te fenua mo ona toeaina io me ni paki pelaa me he sei pua mai te pua, kae ni tuku kae “faka’mana’ ailoa e ttou Tupuu ko Te Folaha, ki lakeiga-‘mana o te Fale o Tagaloa tela ni mafua (tupu) mai ai a tona igoa aliki ko Tu’i Folaha, tenei e ttaku e tatou ko Te Folaha.
Tela la, a Tuumau (he kulupu e tahi mai te Maga Aliki o Lavega), ke noho ailoa a ia fakatahi mo kaaiga ake o Lavega, o fai ailoa a ILOGA o Lavega konaa koa oti ni fakahae atu iluga. Kae tuku ailoa a te NOHOAGA ALIKI ke fai ailoa kiai a te PULAGA a te Maga Aliki o KOLI.
Ka ko te NOHOAGA, ke fakafoki kiai a te kaaiga o ALIKI A MUA, me e ona ailoa a te NOHOAGA. Kae kafai koa he ola te fenua mo mativa tona tai.. ke tuku ailoa ki a KOLI ke fai tena PULEGA ko te Aliki Fai Aliaa ki te huiga o te Nohoaga ki te ALIKI A TUA.
HEILOGA ailoa koa foki tatou ki fakanohoga mua (ko fakanohoga tonu) o te POULOTO o Nanumea, e he mafai ailoa o TOKA te fenua mo ana taumafaiga. He tulaga kae he galuega faigataa, kae he galuega ailoa e TTAU O FAI!
ME kafai la e he fai e tatou, e tahi ailoa te avanoaga moo te llei o Nanumea, ko te fili ailoa o he Pelesitene, io me he Pule Fenua, kae i lalo o fakanohoga o po nei.. kae lepe atu a mea mua me ko ‘past tense’!
E tena te manatu mai konei, kae koa tuku atu me pehea a lua mfaufauga kiai..
Ke 0la tou Ahiga nei.
