Futa Helu (born 1934) is a Tongan philosopher, historian, and educator whose influence is felt throughout the Pacific. He studied philosophy under the Australian empiricist John Anderson and in 1963 launched an educational institute named ʻAtenisi (Tongan for Athens, to pay homage to the ancient Greek philosophers, Herakleitos in particular). The institute began as a continuing education programme for civil servants, then initiated a high school in 1964 and university in 1976.
Helu was born on 17 June 1934 in the village of Lotofoa on the island of Foa in the Haʻapai archipelago in the (Polynesian) Kingdom of Tonga. Helu, in fact, is a minor chiefly title, carrying the task of managing both the people and land of the village. In Haʻapai, Futa was a bright, although headstrong, student. In 1947 he was selected to be part of the founding class of the newly established Tonga high school sited in Tonga's capital, the school being a project of a promising Crown Prince who would accede to the throne as Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV in 1967.
Between 1953 and 1961 Helu studied in Australia at Newington College and the University of Sydney, at Sydney focusing on philosophy, English literature, mathematics and physics. Back in Tonga he did not become – as one might have expected – a government bureaucrat, but held himself out as tutor to those having trouble keeping up at school. His way of teaching soon became famous, and many Tongans who are now important figures claim he instilled a love of learning that impelled their careers.
ʻAtenisi Institute was initially a downtown night school providing continuing education for civil servants, evolving into a secondary school in its second year. In 1966 Helu registered ʻAtenisi's high school with the government and a year later leased a 16-acre (65,000 m2) parcel in Halaano, a western district in the Tongan capital of Nukuʻalofa. The parcel is, in fact, below sea level and students often speak of the swampus instead of the campus.. In 1976 a small university joined the high school on the site, its first bachelor of arts degrees being awarded in 1980, followed a few years later by bachelor of science degrees. By the 1990s, some Master of Arts – and even a Ph.D. degree – were awarded in collaboration with universities in Australia and New Zealand.
Dr. Helu not only administered his institute but – like Thomas Jefferson at the University of Virginia in early 19th century America – designed its classrooms, laboratories, and libraries, often in classical style. Whilst small contractors were, of course, employed in ʻAtenisi's construction, in the early days its director was not above roofing a new building after class.
In 1992 Dr. Helu joined Tonga's Catholic bishop, Patelisio P. Fīnau, in sponsoring a conference that advocated Tonga's transition from a feudal to parliamentary monarchy. Not only did the Government resist this call but it punished 'Atenisi for its advocacy by thenceforth refusing to employ its university graduates, a severe penalty in the developing world. The boycott was lifted after the accession of a commoner prime minister in 2006 and the Government's concession to democratic principle.
Until her death in April 2008, Dr. Helu was married to Kaloni Schaaf; the union produced six children and numerous grandchildren. Two daughters have distinguished themselves in the performing arts – Sisiʻuno Helu, founding director of ʻAtenisi's performing arts troupe and orchestra, has staged Tongan faiva and spirited excerpts from Italian opera on tours of the Pacific and the U.S., ʻAtolomake Helu has sung soprano in noted international venues, such as Sydney and Auckland Town Halls. A son, Niulala Helu, is a former lecturer in Tongan culture at the University of Auckland and current director of 'Atenisi Institute.
Dr. Helu is the author of several books, most importantly two books on Tongan culture, a monograph on Herakleitos, and a collection of essays regarding South Pacific culture. In 1999 the University of the South Pacific awarded him an honorary doctorate in literature. The scholar retired as institute director and dean of its university in 2007, replaced in the former post by his daughter Sisiʻuno (in 2008) and son Niulala (in 2009) ... and in the latter by Dr. Michael G. Horowitz, a U.S. sociologist who served as associate dean in the late '90s. Dr. Helu retains the title of Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Tongan Culture.
In retirement, Helu remains an authority on Tongan history, tradition, and education, and although not a politician himself, retains an influential voice in Tongan politics due to the vindication of his democratic advocacy.
In the 1960s there were not many high schools in Tonga, and the few there were catered to either an economic or academic elite. To fill the gap, ʻAtenisi's high school assumed a populist stance, offering inexpensive and innovative education. Yet academic standards were high – for example, whereas other schools settled for the modest New Zealand syllabus, ʻAtenisi choose the more challenging syllabus of New South Wales, Australia.
The 1970 and ʻ80s were the school's heyday, at one point attracting some 800 students; however, enrollment began to fall in the '90s in the face of diverse competition. By 2005 the situation became so pressing that school fees were no longer sufficient to cover costs. The school was, in fact, forced to close in 2006, but reopened in 2007 under revitalised leadership.
ʻAtenisi's university is unique in being the only privately founded university in the Pacific, and therefore autonomous from any church or government. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that the university can freely train critical thought, rather than compel students to conform to bureaucratic obedience or religious dogma. The disadvantage is that the university rarely receives funding from either source, which has usually condemned it to an austere budget solely supported by modest tuition fees.
Because the university regards method of thought to be its pedagogical priority, philosophy has always been considered its most important course; facility with the English language and appreciation of English literature remains a second key objective. In addition, the university continues to offer core courses in the natural sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Because of its reputation for rigour, most ʻAtenisi students have always found it relatively easy to obtain scholarships to graduate schools in New Zealand, Australia and the U.S.
As part of its arts curriculum, the institute offers courses in music performance, e.g., piano, violin, and voice. Many students also join AFPA: the ʻAtenisi Foundation for the Performing Arts. A small but well-equipped orchestra was established in 2000. Both AFPA and the orchestra regularly tour overseas.This is the most astonishing to the Western culture of how this group pursuit in classical musics.
In the early years of the university, its emphasis on methodology was popular with Tonga's independent farmers: their sons might return to their modest plantations and display classical learning at weekend faikava (traditional kava circles). Yet with growing pressure for vocational success among Tonga's urban middle class, only the most talented students remain attracted to ʻAtenisi's classical credo. This has led to a decline in enrollment which, in the face of increasingly more viable tertiary training in Tonga and overseas, threatens the prospects of the small university that Futa Helu built.

Malie Daphne and Sesilia e talanoa he topic mahu'inga ko 'eni " Identity Crisis"... Teu ki'i kaunoa atu pe, koe fie tanaki atu oe ki he potalanoa.
Teu 'uluaki fehu'i pe koe ha nai e 'uhinga 'oe "Identity"?? Pea 'oku ou 'ilo pe 'e au 'oku mou taki taha pe 'ene definition ki hono tali. pea he'ikai teu toe lave ki ai. Pe 'oku anga fefe nai hono define 'oe identity 'o he person. 1. 'Oku define ia by what a person does 2. 'Oku define ia by one's success? 3. 'Oku define ia makatu'unga he ngaahi cultural values koe 'oku ne form 'e tau attitude koee ki he mo'ui (life) (our Tonganess if you may). Koe taimi kuo 'i ai e ngaahi liliu kuo nau hanga 'o kamata ke uesia 'ae identitiy 'o kulupe pe ko ha individual 'oku ou ui ia koe "Identity Crisis". 'A ia koe liliu kuo tu'unuku mai ke hoko. Ka 'oku 'ikai koe liliu kotoa pe 'oku sai pe 'oku kovi.
Koe fatongia leve 'o ha organization pe fa'ahinga kautaha 'oku nau siofi e Crisis ko 'eni ko hono siofi pe ko fe nai e liliu 'oku tototnu ke pusiaki'i mai ke benefit mei ai e komiuniti 'oku nau tofanga he ta'au 'oe liliu ko 'eni. Ko ia ai 'oku 'ikai ke mahu'inga pe ko hai na'a ne fokotu'u e ha? mo palesiteni 'i he ha? etc. 'oku mahu'inga 'a hano feinga'i ha me'a 'e lava ke ngaue ai e tokoni ki liliu 'oku hoko 'i he komuniti, 'i he level 'oku hoko ai e Crisis ko 'eni.
Ko ia ai koe politic of any approach to assist the community 'i he "Identity Crisis" 'oku take place is not important than the actual necessary action and services that should be provided. Sometimes people with good hearts lost in process because they were caught up with the struggling for power and recognition than spend their times in providing the immediate needs of the community.
I would like to suggest that the our action to improve the " Identity Crisis" we are discussing here has to arise from our own "eternal Identity" and that is "Our Love" not what we do, or our success, and our cultural values. As creatures created by God out his Love, we are essentially loving species. Evil not essential although it has its bite on us sometimes we are severly affect by it. God has always says the last word, and his is God of the livings,He is Love itself and the ultimate Goodness. His last words from his own identity. And so we are, our work of mercy has to flows from our true identity " Our Love." This rightful identity of ours is the only identity that we will stand with infront of the thrown of our heavenly Father on the judgement day. |

===================
Óku moóni áupito hoó comment í ólunga, Ben (I hope this is your name). Pea fakamolemole á Daphne óku 'ikai ko ha úhinga eni ia kuo mau fakataéáongaí hoómou fuú ngaue lahi mo áonga ki Tonga! Ka 'oku í ai e hohaá lahi ia ki he toútupu Tonga í muli ni, ó íkai tapu ai á e tokoni ki hotau kainga ;i Tonga mo e ngaahi fonua kehe. Pea te u fakataataaáki pe au, ko hoku ongo úhiki (son & daughter), naé fanauí muli, tamai ko e muli, pea óku na fakatou í Áositelelia ni, í ai mo éna faanau (my grandchildren)! Pea ko e úhinga ia ne u kau ai au he PETTA, not only I wanted to support efforts to help our Tongan families in Australia, but I wanted my children to benefit from what we tried to do for other children & families.
Naé faá malangaí lahi é he fineéiki, Fatai Slender í heémau fakataha Kolisi Tutuku (QSC) ke mau manatuí e toútupu heni, ó ne ngaueáki á e pupungalea ni "étau faanau"! tupu mei heéne ngaahi aúsia. Ko hono moóni, óku sai pe á e faanau ia á Fatai (malohi hona konga palangi, ha!ha!) ka ko éne úhinga ki sií faanau óku í pilisone, í he veéhala, tauánga pasi & lelue, etc. Naé íta hake ai e tokotaha ia ó ne pehee: '" Oku sai pe éku faanau ia ááku, ko e faanau pe ia á e kakai kehee óku fakakina!" Individualism! Ko e lavea á e kupu é tahaa, óku ongo á e langaa ki he sino kotoa! Íkai ngata ai, óku lavea á e taka nofo, he ngaue á e taka tuú! Ko e maumaulao á e Tonga é tahaa, óku ne uesia kitautolu kotoa he ko e kau Tonga kitautolu, pe ko e fe ha tapa ó mamani óku tau í ai.
Ben, you asked about "Identity"? Óku í ai e ngaahi afo (strands) óku faúutaha í he identity. Pea óku tau anga maheni he Card pe passport ke identify ourselves. Á ia óku í e ngaahi information óku ne identify us as who we are! Kau ai hotau hingoa kakato, taú motuá, feituú naé faéleí ai kitautolu, fonua naa tau tupu mei ai, etc. The identity crisis óku fehangahangai mo e second generation, ko e íkai ke nau íloí pau "who they really are!" or who they have become at the context they're in. Óku lahi leva hono faá ékeí á e ngaahi fehuí ko eni: Who am I? Am I a Tongan? Am I an Australian? Am I half & half or quarter? Why am I who I am? Why am I here? etc. I better pause here. Talk with you soon. Ófa atu, Sisilia. |
