YOU'RE WELCOME (SI'OTO 'OFA TATAU KIATE KOE) DR. KA'ILI...Your exemplary leadership in academia to researching, documenting, and synthesizing the philosophy to our living heritage is indispensable to the education of our youths, and preservation of Polynesian cultures, Tongan especially. It's a slow grinding wheel, but it takes preserverance to do research, write, and publish your academic work.
Mostly, a few curious Tongans may have a need to access your academic literary work, but the written word lives on forever in the archives. I am definitely looking forward to transcend myself into your own stratosphere to experience the abstract and meat of your studies.
The academic critiquing, and peer-reviews by your colleagues had been done. All we can do now as students and consumers of academic research is asking questions on how to comprehend your intellectual study. -
Siʻotoʻofa Sione A. Mokofisi:
Thank you so much for your kind words and support of my work with Hūfanga Professor ʻOkusitino Māhina. Mālō ʻaupito for inspiring all of us through your articles to strive for excellence in our writing. We are continuing the literary works of our ancestors. I look forward to your review and critique of my book.

CONGRATULATIONS, DR. KA'ILI...great accomplishment, and may you continue to add more great works to your literary library. A good example to youths of Tongan heritage who might want to develop writing as an aspiring talent, or vocation.
Thank you, Dr. Ka'ili.
