Today we learned about the Missions coming to the Hawaiian Islands. When the missionaries came to the islands in 1803 literacy was 0% because the Hawaiian language was an oral language. Also at that time human sacrifice was being practiced. The missionaries influenced King Kamehameha III to end that practice. They also made Hawaiian a written language and began teaching the people to read and write increasing literacy to 75%.
This, 188 year old house, is the oldest wooden framed house in HI. Many of the Hawaiian children that came to live here would run away because they didn't like the rigour and formality of strict missionary life.
Here Owen is demonstrating why the
printing press operator was often the most patient as well as strongest man at the mission.
The tedious and
repetitive process ends with rolling and pulling on a huge handle
then hanging each sheet to dry. Owen did a great job.
Evan really got the hang of rolling a wooden hoop.
The print shop and back of the old house,
plus an old lava rock wall.
