Unfortunately, at this point, there would be a break in the relationship with the heads of the island’s original community. The majority of the population was very happy with the Christian brothers, but Niuliki, king of Alo and main chief of the island of Futuna, began to see them with different eyes. Christianity was transforming the soul of the people and the king began to fear for his prerogatives as a religious leader and political leader. Alo was one of the two kingdoms established in the Horne archipelago (“Archipelago del Horno”).
When Meitala, Niuliki’s son, asked to be baptized, the king could not stand it and sent his son-in-law, the warrior Musumusu, to “solve the problem” at any cost.
Musumusu cunningly confronted his brother-in-law, Meitala, after which he went to San Pedro Chanel’s house in search of medical attention. His injuries were not serious, but they were the pretext to carry out the trick.
