Hili ha taʻu ʻe taha hono fokotuʻu ʻo e Siasí, kuo fekau ʻe he ʻEikí ke fakataha hake ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he feituʻu ʻo ʻŌhaioó (vakai, T&F 37:3). Talu mei ai, mo e tānaki fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotú ki ha ngaahi feituʻu kehekehe ʻi heʻenau feinga ke muimui ki he palōfita moʻuí mo fokotuʻu ha ngaahi feituʻu malu ke nau nofo aí. ʻE ako ʻe he kau akó ʻi he lēsoni ko ʻení, ʻoku tānaki ʻe he ʻEikí Hono kakaí ke fakamālohia mo teuteuʻi kinautolu ke maʻu ha ngaahi tāpuaki lahi ange, kau ai ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e temipalé (vakai, T&F 84:4).
Fakaafeʻi ʻa e kau akó ke nau kumi ʻa e feituʻu naʻe hoko ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga ko ʻeni ʻo Hono Fakafoki Mai ʻo e Ongoongoleleí: ko e ʻUluaki Mata-Meʻa-Hā-Maí (Manisesitā, Niu ʻIoke), ko hono fakafoki mai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí (Hāmoni, Penisilivēnia), pea mo hono fokotuʻu ʻo e Siasí (Feieti,Niu ʻIoke).
Kole ki ha kau ako ʻe niʻihi ke nau taufetongi ʻi hono lau leʻo lahi ʻo e lea ko ʻení:
“Naʻe vēkeveke ʻa Sitenei Likitoni, ko ha faifekau kimuʻa mo ha mēmipa ne toki papi foʻou mai mei he ʻēlia Ketilaní, mo ha kaungāmeʻa taʻe siasi ko ʻEtuate Patilisi, ke feʻiloaki mo e Palōfitá, pea mo ako lahi ange ki he ngaahi akonaki ʻ ʻo e Siasí. Naʻá na fononga ʻi ha maile ʻe 250 tupu ki Feieti ʻi Niu ʻIoke ke feʻiloaki mo Siosefa Sāmita ʻi Tīsema 1830. Naʻá na kole ke ne lotua ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí fekauʻaki mo kinaua pea mo e Kāingalotu ʻi Ketilaní. Ko hono talí, naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ʻoku totonu ke tānaki fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi Niu ʻIoké ki ʻŌhaiō’ (T&F 37:3). ʻI he konifelenisi hono tolu mo fakaʻosi ʻa e Siasí ʻi Niu ʻIoké, naʻe fai ʻi he faama ʻa e fāmli Uitemaá ʻi he ʻaho 2 ʻo Sānuali 1831, ne toutou fakahoko mai ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni [ke hiki ʻa e kau mēmipa ʻo e Siasí ki ʻŌhaiō]. … Ko e fuofua ui ʻeni ʻi he kuonga ko ʻení ke tānaki fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotú. …
“… Ne ʻi ai ha kau mēmipa ʻe toko 68 mei Kolesivila naʻa nau lolotonga fononga ki ʻŌhaiō he konga loto ʻo ʻEpeleli 1831. Naʻe talangofua foki mo ha Kāingalotu ʻe toko 80 mei he Kolo Feietí ki he fekau ʻa e ʻEikí, mo ha toko 50 mei he Kolo Manisesitaá, naʻa nau mavahe mei honau ngaahi ʻapí ʻi he konga kimuʻa ʻo Mē 1831. … ʻI he kongaloto ʻo Meé, kuo lava kotoa ʻa e ngaahi kolo ʻi Niu ʻIoké ʻo kolosi vaka atu ʻi he Ano Vai ʻElií ki he Taulanga Feapōtí ʻi ʻŌhaiō, ʻo tali ai kinautolu ʻe he Kāingalotú pea ʻave kinautolu ki he ngaahi feituʻu ʻi Ketilani mo Tomisoni. Kuo kamata ʻa e tānaki lahi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní” (Ko Hotau Tukufakaholó: Ko ha Hisitōlia Nounou ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní [1996], 17–19).
Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻo lahi ʻa e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 38:31–33. Kole ki he kalasí ke nau muimui mo kumi ʻa e ngaahi founga ʻe tāpuekina ai ʻa e Kāingalotú kapau naʻa nau talangofua ki he fekau ke tānaki fakataha ki ʻŌhaioó. ʻOku totonu ke ʻiloʻi ʻe he kau akó ha ngaahi tāpuaki ʻe fā: (1) te nau “hao mei he mālohi ʻo e filí”; (2) te nau “tānaki fakataha ki he [ʻOtuá] ko ha kakai māʻoniʻoni”; (3) te nau maʻu ʻa e fono ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea (4) ʻe “fakakoloaʻiaʻi ai ʻa kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e mālohi mei ʻolunga.” Te ke lava ʻo fokotuʻu ange ke fakafika ʻe he kau akó ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ko ʻení ʻi heʻenau folofolá.

Te ke lava ke fakamahino angeʻoku faʻa fakafekauʻaki ʻi he folofolá ʻa e tokāteline ʻo e tānakí mo e maluʻí.. “Ko e fehokotakí ko ha fekauʻaki pe fepikitaki ʻo ha ongo foʻi fakakaukau, kakai, meʻa, pe meʻa ʻoku hoko, pea ʻoku fonu ʻa e folofolá ʻi he ngaahi fakafehokotakí” (David A.

Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku tatau pē hono ʻave ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e kau ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá ki he Moʻunga Sainaí mo foaki kiate kinautolu ʻEne fonó, mo ʻEne tuʻutuʻuni ki he Kāingalotú ke tānaki ki Ōhaiō koeʻuhí ke nau lava ʻo maʻu ai ʻEne fonó ʻi he kuonga ko ʻení (vakai, T&F 38:32). Naʻe kamata ke fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ʻEne fonó ki he Siasí ʻi ʻŌhaiō (vakai, ʻuluʻi vahe ʻo e T&F 42). Hili ia pea fehuʻi ange:
