Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Pilikihami ʻIongi ʻa e tūkunga ʻi he Siasí lolotonga e 1837 mo ʻene ngaahi feinga ke taukaveʻi ʻa e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻo pehē:

“Naʻe maʻu ʻe ha tokolahi ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻi he taimi ko ʻení ʻa e laumālie ʻo e fakatupu paʻangá, mole e ʻofá mo e hē mei he moʻoní, ʻa ia naʻe mafola ki he ngaahi Kōlomu kotoa pē ʻo e Siasí, ne fuʻu lahi fau ʻo faingataʻa ai ke lava ʻe ha taha ʻo ʻiloʻi lelei ʻa e hala ke fou aí.
“… Ko ha faingataʻa ʻeni ne hangē ne fengāueʻaki ʻa e māmaní mo heli ke ikunaʻi ʻa e Palōfitá mo e Siasi ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ne kamata ke veiveiua e tokolahi ʻo e kau tangata mālohi taha ʻi he Siasí.
“Ne u tuʻu ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo Siosefá lolotonga e taimi fakapoʻuli ko ʻení, pea ne u fai hoku tūkuingatá ʻi he poto mo e mālohi ne ʻomi ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate aú ke poupouʻi ʻa e tamaioʻeiki ʻa e ʻOtuá pea ke fakatahaʻi ʻa e ngaahi kōlomu ʻo e siasí” (Manuscript History of Brigham Young 1801–1844 ed.

Ngaahi meʻa ne tokoni ki he ngaahi faingataʻa fakapaʻanga ʻi Ketilaní
ʻI he 1837, ne maʻu ʻe he mānumanú ʻa e loto ʻo e kāingalotu ʻe niʻihi ʻo e Siasí pea aʻu pē ki ha kau taki tuʻukimuʻa ʻo e Siasí ʻi Ketilani. Naʻe siʻisiʻi e paʻanga koulá mo e silivá. Naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe he kakaí ʻa e paʻanga pepa mei ha ngaahi pangikē ʻi he feituʻu ko iá. Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Siosefa Sāmita mo e kau taki kehe ʻo e Siasí ha kautaha hangē ha pangikeé naʻe ui ko e Kautaha Maluʻi ʻo Ketilaní, ke tokoni ke fakafalala fakapaʻanga ange ʻa e Kāingalotú kiate kinautolu pē. Naʻe fakatau ʻe he Kāingalotu tokolahi ha ngaahi ʻinasi ʻi he pangikē foʻoú. Hili ha ngaahi māhina siʻi hono fakaava ʻe he kautahá hono ngaahi matapaá, naʻe kamata ʻi Niu ʻIoke Siti ha faingataʻaʻia fakapaʻanga, ʻa ia naʻe ui kimui ange ko e hohaʻa ʻo e 1837, pea mafola fakahihifo, ʻo tāpuni ai ha ngaahi pangikē ʻe laungeau, kau ai ʻa e Kautaha Maluʻi ʻo Ketilaní.
Naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi meʻa kehe ne tokoni ki he taʻepau ʻo e Kautaha Maluʻi ʻo Ketilaní. Ne lahi ha ngaahi pangikē ne ʻikai ke nau tali e paʻanga ʻa e Kautaha Maluʻí ko ha paʻanga fakalao, pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ngaahi nusipepa fakafepaki ki he kau Māmongá ne ʻikai ha mahuʻinga ia ʻo e paʻangá. ʻIkai ngata aí, naʻe meimei ko e tefitoʻi koloa ʻa e kautahá ko e kelekele; ne ʻikai ke lahi ha pa‘anga ia hangē ko e koulá mo e silivá, ki hono fakafiemālieʻi ha ngaahi fie maʻu lalahi ki hono totongi ʻa ʻene paʻanga pepá. Naʻe maʻu ʻe he ngaahi fili ʻo e Siasí ha paʻanga pepa feʻunga ke kamata ha feinga ke totongi fakafoki mai ia ʻaki ha koula pe siliva, ʻo fakamālohiʻi ai e kautahá ke taʻofi hono totongi e koulá mo e silivá ki he kakaí ʻi ha ngaahi uike siʻi pē hili hono tuku atu ʻa e fuofua paʻangá. Ko hono olá, naʻe tukuakiʻi ai ʻa Siosefa Sāmita mo Sitenei Likitoni ki hono maumauʻi e ngaahi lao fakapangikē ʻo ʻOhaioó pea ʻave kinaua ke hopo. Naʻe moʻua taki $1,000 ʻa Siosefa mo Sitenei.
Naʻe fai ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne lavá ke fakalotoʻi e kau ʻinivesitoá ke foaki ha paʻanga lahi ange ke poupouʻi ʻa e pangikeé, ka naʻe faifai peá ne tukuange hono fakalelé ki ha niʻihi kehé. Neongo ia, naʻe ʻikai fakaleleiʻi heni ʻa e palopalemá. Naʻe toe fakaʻauha ʻe he kau pule taʻetaukei mo taʻefaitotonú ʻa e pangikeé. Naʻe kaihaʻasi ʻe Uāleni Pālesi, ko e tokotaha faifakatau ʻa e pangikeé mo e tangata tohi fakatāutaha ʻa Siosefá, ha paʻanga ʻe 20,000 tupu.
Naʻe tānaki foki ʻa e tupulaki ʻo e laumālie fakatupu paʻanga ʻi Ketilaní ki he ngaahi palopalema fakaʻekonōmika ʻa e Siasí. ʻI heʻenau pehē ʻe lava ke maʻu ha paʻangá, naʻe nō ha kakai tokolahi ke fakatau mai ha kelekele ke toe fakatau atu ʻi ha tupu lahi.
Naʻe pau ai ke tāpuni ʻa e Kautaha Maluʻi ʻo Ketilaní ʻi he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ʻo e 1837. Naʻe mole ʻa e meimei meʻa kotoa ne ʻinivesi ʻe ha kau ʻinivesitoa ʻe laungeau, ka ko Siosefa Sāmita naʻe lahi taha ʻene molé. Koeʻuhí naʻe fakakaukau ʻa e tokolahi ko e Kautaha Maluʻi ʻo Ketilaní ko ha pangikē ʻa e Siasí pe ko e pangikē ʻa e Palōfitá, naʻe tukuakiʻi ai ʻe ha niʻihi ʻo e Kāingalotú ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ki heʻenau ngaahi palopalema fakapaʻangá pea kamata ke ui ia ko ha palōfita kuo hinga. Ka naʻe ʻi ai ha niʻihi ne mole foki mo ʻenau paʻangá ne kei hokohoko atu ʻi he tuí pea mo tuʻu maʻu ki he Palōfitá.
