Ne u faitaaʻi ʻa e faʻē ʻa “Lupé” ʻi he taʻu ʻe 29 kuo hilí. ʻOku kei lanu pulū tatau pē hono kanoʻimatá.

Ne mapuna hake e ngaahi manatu ʻofa mei he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu kuo hilí, ʻi he taimi naʻe hoko ai ʻa e kui ʻa “Lupé—ko e taha homa ngaahi ʻofefiné—ko e mēmipa foʻou taha ia homa fāmilí.

He ʻikai ke ʻaonga ia.) ʻOku fokotuʻu mai ʻe he ngaahi laʻitaá ni ʻa e ʻofa ʻokú ne fakafehokotaki ʻa e ngaahi toʻu tangata ʻe faá.

ʻI he taimi ʻoku ou fakakaukau ai ki he ʻofa ʻoku ou maʻu ki he mēmipa takitaha ʻo homau fāmilí, ʻoku ou ongoʻi ʻa e ʻofa ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ki Heʻene fānaú. Lolotonga hono ʻohofi e fāmilí ʻi he māmaní, ʻoku talaki, hiki hake, mo maluʻi ʻe he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ʻa e moʻoni ko ia ko e fāmilí ko e uho ia ʻo e palani ʻa e [Tokotaha Fakatupú] ki he ikuʻanga taʻengata ʻo ʻEne fānaú. “Ko e Fāmilí: Ko Ha Fanongonongo ki Māmani” pea ko ʻetau ngāue kāfakafa ʻi he hisitōlia fakafāmilí ko e ongo fakamoʻoni pē ia ki he anga hono ʻomi ʻe he Siasí ni ʻa e ʻamanaki leleí mo e tokoní ki he faʻunga toputapu ʻo e fāmilí.

ʻOku tau ʻakoʻi ʻoku ʻikai hano ngataʻanga ʻo e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki Heʻene fānaú. ʻOkú Ne ʻofa ʻiate kinautolu kotoa ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻa e matakali, fonua pe ko e tuʻunga tangata pe fefiné.¹ Kuó Ne fai pehē mei he kamataʻangá pea ʻe hokohoko atu ʻEne fai peheé. ʻOkú Ne fakaafeʻi ʻa e tokotaha kotoa ke maʻu ʻa e hakeakiʻi taʻengatá maʻa honau fāmilí. Ko ʻEne ngāué ʻeni mo Hono nāunaú ke fakahoko ʻa e moʻui taʻe-faʻa-mate mo e moʻui taʻengatá—ʻa e hakeakiʻi—ʻo ʻEne fānaú.² “He naʻe ʻofa pehē ʻa e ʻOtuá ki māmani, naʻá ne foaki hono ʻAlo pē taha naʻe fakatupú, koeʻuhí ko ia kotoa pē ʻe tui kiate iá ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha, kae maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá.”³

Naʻe malava ʻe he Fakalelei ʻa Hono ʻAlo ʻOfaʻangá ke fakahoko fakatouʻosi ʻa e ongo taumuʻa ʻa e Tamaí. Ka ne taʻe-ʻoua e Fakaleleí, he ʻikai ha taʻe-faʻa-mate. Ka ne taʻe-ʻoua e Fakaleleí, he ʻikai ha toe foki ki he ʻao ʻo e Tamaí pea ʻikai hoko atu e fāmilí hili ʻa faʻitoka.

Naʻá Ne ʻoange foki kiate kinautolu mo ha founga ke nau kau ai ki ha fāmili taʻengata. Ko e tangata kotoa ʻoku haʻu ki he māmaní ko e hako ia ʻo ha mātuʻa ʻo ha ngaahi toʻu tangata. ʻOku fakanatula pē ʻetau fakaʻamu ke fehokotaki mo ʻetau ngaahi kuí. ʻOku tau maʻu e holi ko ʻení neongo pe ko e hā hotau taʻu motuʻá.

Ne fanongonongo ʻe Palesiteni Kōtoni B. Hingikelī ʻi he konifelenisi ʻo ʻOkatopa 2005, ʻa e fakalakalaka lelei ʻa e hisitōlia fakafāmilí mo e ngāue fakatemipalé. Naʻá ne pehē, “Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi tafaʻaki ʻoku fai ki ai e hohaʻa ʻi heʻetau ngāue fakatemipalé, ko e lahi ange ko ia ʻa e ngaahi temipalé … he funga māmaní, ko e lahi ai pē ia hono faʻa fakahoko tuʻo lahi ʻo e ngāue fakafofongá … .
