ʻO Tony Eccles:
Ke hele aku kahi malihini i loko o ka hale hōʻikeʻike o nā Moʻomeheu Honua, loaʻa iā lākou kahi manaʻo o ke ao ākea a me ka pilina kūloko i kēlā ao. A ʻo ka mea a lākou e ʻike ai he pakeneka liʻiliʻi loa ia o ka hōʻiliʻili piha. I loko o ka hōʻiliʻili, loaʻa iā mākou ma kahi o 13,000 mau mea a aia ma kahi o 5 a 7 pakeneka o ia mea e hōʻike ʻia ana i kēlā me kēia manawa.
ʻO wau ʻo Tony Eccles. ʻO wau ke kahu o ka ethnography ma ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Royal Albert. Loaʻa iā mākou kēia waihona waiwai kupaianaha mai nā poʻe like ʻole i hana ma ke Aupuni Pelekane ma ke ʻano he misionari, kālepa, luna kolone, koa, a me nā mea huakaʻi.
A hoʻi mai lākou i Devon a, i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, ua hāʻawi wale mai lākou i kā lākou mau hōʻiliʻili pilikino iā mākou. ʻO ka mea kupanaha e pili ana i kēlā, ʻo ia ka hōʻike ʻana i ka hōʻiliʻili Exeter, Devon, i ke ao holoʻokoʻa, a he mea nui loa ia.
Aia kekahi hui liʻiliʻi o nā mea hana lima i loaʻa iā mākou mai ka mokuʻāina ʻo Victoria ma Australia, a ua hāʻawi ʻia lākou i ka makahiki 1868 e kekahi kanaka nona ka ʻohana ma Devon. ʻAʻole mākou i ʻike i kekahi mea e pili ana i kēia kanaka a hiki i ka wā e hana ana kekahi hoaaloha oʻu mai ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Pelekane i kekahi hana ma nā hōʻiliʻili ma ʻaneʻi, a ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i nā inoa o kekahi o nā mea hāʻawi. A hele mai ʻo WR Hayman. A nīnau maila ʻo ia: 'E haʻi hou mai iaʻu i kēlā inoa. Auē, ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi ʻike liʻiliʻi ma ʻaneʻi.'
Manaʻo wau ʻo ka mea a mākou ma ʻaneʻi he hōʻiliʻili i nalowale. ʻO Hayman ke luna o ka hui kirikiti ʻōiwi mua loa ma ʻEnelani. I ka makahiki 1868, ua hele mai lākou mai Australia mai. He ala ia no Hayman ma ke ʻano he manawa kūpono e loaʻa ai ke kālā.
A i ka pau ʻana o ka pāʻani kriket, e hana lākou i kahi hōʻike o nā mākau Aboriginal, e like me ka hoʻolei ihe a me ka hoʻolei boomerang. Ua pāʻani lākou i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻAʻole lākou i uku ʻia, ʻoiai ua manaʻo ʻia lākou e uku, a ua make kekahi o lākou i ka wā o ka huakaʻi a ʻaʻole i haʻi ʻia aku i ke koena o nā mea pāʻani e pili ana i ia mea.
He mea hoʻolei ihe kēia. Ua hoʻohana ʻia kēia e kekahi o nā mea pāʻani kriket Aboriginal e hōʻike i ka hoʻolei ihe. No laila, aia kāu ihe, ma ʻaneʻi, e paʻa ʻia me kahi kui. A e holo ʻoe a laila e haki ʻoe. He mea hahai holoholona kūleʻa ia.
A no laila ua hāʻawi mākou i kēia hōʻiliʻili iā Lord's no kahi hōʻikeʻike kūikawā e hoʻomanaʻo ai i kēia hanana, a ua hele mai ka hui kriket Aboriginal Australian, a ua paʻa iā lākou nā mea hana lima a ko lākou mau kūpuna i hana ai. No laila, he manawa hoʻopā a koʻikoʻi loa ia no nā mea a pau i komo i kēlā kaʻina hana - ʻoi aku hoʻi no nā mea pāʻani kipa.
He ʻaʻahu komo kēia i hāʻawi ʻia e EB Penney i ka makahiki 1868. Ua hāʻawi ʻia kona kumu mai Mekiko, akā mai ka noiʻi mua ʻana ua hōʻike ʻia he huahana paha ia o ke kālepa Sepania mai Mekiko a i ʻĀsia. I kēia manawa, he mea hoihoi loa kēia ʻaʻahu komo no ka mea he ʻili dia ia e hoʻohālike ana he ʻili bipi.
Loaʻa iā ʻoe ka ʻelele o ka poʻe waiwai ma ʻaneʻi, akā, nā kauwā hoʻi, ka hale pule pū kekahi. No laila, ua ʻike mākou he manawa kēia o ka hoʻokomo ʻia ʻana o ka Katolika ma Mekiko. No laila, he hōʻailona ia o kēlā manawa.
A ke hoʻāʻo nei mākou e ʻike i ka mea ʻo EB Penney. Ua ʻike mākou he mea kālepa ʻo ia, akā ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike hou aku. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe o mākou ʻike e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia ʻāpana akā, ke hana mākou, e hōʻike mākou iā ia me kēlā moʻolelo. Pono wale ia i ka ʻike hou aku.
No laila, ke hele mai kahi malihini i loko o ka hale hōʻikeʻike, makemake wau e manaʻo lākou ʻaʻole i ʻaihue ʻia nā mea āpau. Nui nā mea i kūʻai ʻia a i hāʻawi ʻia a loaʻa paha. ʻAʻole wau e manaʻo i ka loaʻa ʻana i kūpono ʻole. Aia nā mea i hāʻawi ʻia a hana ʻia no nā malihini a me nā hoaaloha a me nā poʻe i huakaʻi i ka honua holoʻokoʻa.
ʻO ka mea a mākou e hoʻāʻo nei e kamaʻilio me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ma ka hale hōʻikeʻike, ʻo ia ka wehe ʻana i kēlā mau mōʻaukala maoli o nā mea, e nānā ana i nā manaʻo like ʻole, e hoʻāʻo ana e hoʻokomo i ka hiki, no laila ʻaʻole ia he moʻolelo hoʻokahi ʻaoʻao a kūpono ʻole paha i loaʻa i ke kenekulia i hala. Ke launa pū nei mākou me kēlā mau kaiāulu a pono e ikaika ko lākou leo.
A, ʻike ʻoe, makemake mākou e hōʻike i kā mākou poʻe hāʻawi ma ke ʻano pololei no ko lākou ʻano maoli, no laila ke hāʻawi nei mākou i nā mea i loko o ka hale hōʻikeʻike no nā kaiāulu i nā lā hoʻomana. No laila, he pilina ikaika loa ko mākou me kā mākou hui Hindu kūloko a me ke kaiāulu ma Exeter. A makemake mākou e pili pono i kā mākou mau kaiāulu ʻē aʻe a pau, ma ʻaneʻi ma UK a ma Exeter a ma waho.
