Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) He rerekē ngā whakatupuranga me ngā rōpū tōrangapū o mātou. E noho ana mātou i roto i ngā kāwanatanga rerekē, i raro i ngā āhuatanga rerekē. Ko tētahi o mātou he ākonga wānanga, i whānau mai ki roto i tētahi whānau tōrangapū, ko tētahi atu he mema o mua o te kaunihera mai i Kararuna ki te Tonga, he matua hoki ki ngā tamariki e rima. I mahi tētahi o mātou i te komiti kōwhiringa mō te John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award. Ka riro i tētahi atu tēnei tohu hei whakanui i te tūnga i tangohia e ia i a ia e wehe ana i tana rōpū, e tuku ana i tana mahi tōrangapū hei tautoko i te mahi whai mana ki te whawhai i te huringa o te āhuarangi. E whakapono nui ana mātou me ārahi te Hononga o Amerika i te ao ki te whakarerekētanga o te āhuarangi me te hopu i ngā whai wāhitanga mō te kotahitanga, te tipu me te ahunga whakamua. E whakapono ana mātou kei roto i te kaiārahi maia o te Perehitini Kennedy i roto i te tūhura mokowā he akoranga hei ārahi i a tātou ki mua. I te tau 1962, i te korero a te Perehitini Kennedy i te Whare Wānanga o Rice, i whakaahuatia e ia te kaupapa mokowhiti i panuitia e ia i te wa i tono ai ia ki te Kaunihera ki te tautoko i tana whāinga nui kia eke te tangata ki te marama i mua i te mutunga o te tekau tau. I te whakatuwheratanga o tana korero, ka kī noa iho a Kennedy i te pānga o te whai pūtaiao a te tangata: "Ko te nui ake o to tatou mātauranga, ko te nui ake o to tatou korenga". He pono tonu tēnei rerekētanga ātaahua i tēnei rā. Kua piki ake to tatou matauranga mo nga take me nga morearea o te huringa o te āhuarangi ahakoa kua puta ke to tatou korenga mo ona hua. He tokomaha o ā tātou māngai pōti e mau tonu ana ki te kore mahi, ki te whakapehapeha mā te tautohe e kore e taea e ngā iwi takitahi te whakaoti i te raruraru nā te mea he hara ia iwi. Ko ētahi atu ka whiriwhiri ki te tautohetohe i te pūtaiao, ka whakakahore i te taunakitanga, ka karo i te pātai me pēhea te whakaoti i te raruraru. Engari ko te rereketanga o te āhuarangi he mea whakamataku anake mēnā ka noho tatou, ka tatari, ā, kāore he mahi ki a ia. I tutaki a Perehitini Kennedy ki taua raruraru ano: "Ehara i te mea miharo ka noho tonu etahi ki a tatou i te wahi e noho ana tatou ki te okioki, ki te tatari. Engari... ko tēnei whenua o Te Hononga o Amerika kāore i hangaia e te hunga i tatari, i okioki, i hiahia hoki ki te titiro ki muri i a rātou". Kāore he take kia...
