Correspondence. Micronesia Missions Description An account of the resource <div style="text-align: center;">The Micronesian Mission Collection at the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society Library</div> <br />On November 10, 1851, Messrs. B. G. Snow, A. A. Sturges, and Luther H. Gulick, with their wives, embarked at Boston for Micronesia, an immense number of islands stretching from three degrees south to twenty degrees north of the equator. Arriving in Honolulu, the group chartered a schooner, and it was decided that Rev. Ephraim Clark, secretary of the Hawaiian Missionary Society, and Rev. James Kekela should accompany them to assist in establishing the mission and to report the condition of affairs to the Hawaiian churches. Two Hawaiian missionaries, Opunui and Kaaikaula, and their wives were added. The new mission party sailed July 15, 1852, on the ship "Caroline", en route to Micronesia, where Christianization efforts would take root and endure for the next half-century. <br /><br />The attention of the missionaries turned to three disparate cultural areas of Micronesia: the Carolines, the Marshalls, and the Gilberts [Kiribati]. Kusaie [Kosrae] and Ponape [Pohnpei] in the Carolines were the first to be occupied, mainly because of their convenient location and healthful climate. On August 21, 1852, the "Caroline" arrived at Kusaie, or Strong's Island, where a prominent chief gave his consent for the mission to be established and promised to provide land, a house, and necessary supplies. Messrs. Snow and Opunui and their wives began their work in this isolated place. Two weeks later the "Caroline" anchored at Ponape, or Ascension Island, where Messrs. Sturges, Gulick, Kaaikaula, and their wives, with the approval of the local chief, began their mission work. <br /><br />From the Carolines, the Micronesian Mission branched out to the Marshall Islands. In 1857, George Pierson, an American Board missionary to Micronesia, opened the first Protestant mission on the island of Ebon in the Marshalls. <br /><br />In 1857, the ship "Morning Star" arrived at Honolulu with Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Bingham, Jr., as passengers. Built with monies raised by Sunday School children, the "Morning Star" departed Honolulu for Apaiang, Gilbert Islands, a distance of over 2,000 miles, where the Binghams were discharged to set up a mission station. In 1864, Mr. Bingham's poor health forced the couple to return to Hawaii. Two other American missionaries, Horace Taylor and Alfred Walkup, and several Native _Hawaiian ministers, were associated prominently with the Gilbert Islands mission. Nineteen Hawaiian families in all went to the Gilberts - more than the combined number who traveled to the Marquesas, Marshalls, and Carolines. <br /><br />The Micronesian Mission was funded by the Hawaiian Evangelical Society (H.E.A.) and by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mission_s, located in Boston. The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society also contributed financial support to the Mission in its early years of operation.<br /><br />The extensive, well-organized files of correspondence in the collection of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society Library serve to document the Micronesian Mission. The Native Hawaiian missionaries regularly reported the conditions of their stations to the H. E. A., whose headquarters were located in Honolulu, Hawaii. Written in the Hawaiian language, these reports adhere to the formal report format taught by the American missionaries to the Native Hawaiian missionaries being prepared for missionary work. As might be expected, countless pages of correspondence are devoted to the expression of religious ideology. However, these letters, reports, and journals also contain keen observations and personal thoughts on a wide range of subjects, as well as creative prose and poetry, including songs of lamentation for the deceased, name songs honoring individuals, and poetry composed as catharsis in times of .personal crisis or grief. <br /><br />The letters written by the corresponding secretaries of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association to the Native Hawaiian missionaries abroad were usually composed in Hawaiian, since few of the Native Hawaiian missionaries had sufficient command of the English language. Frequently, the letters written by the Native Hawaiians were translated into English for circulation in the local newspapers, particularly in the mission publication, <a href="http://hmha.missionhouses.org/collections/show/8">The Friend</a>, or they were printed in the Hawaiian language newspapers. <br /><br />The HMCS collection also yields reports of the missionary vessel "Morning Star", which traveled yearly to the various island stations, delivering supplies, mail, and news of the outside world to the missionary families.

Translation: [Page 1 of 3] [Archival note in another hand] Translation of the letter ascribed to Boki in the London Quarterly Review The island of Oahu, January 24th, 1826 No. 206 Sir, I am taking this opportune time to send you these few lines with the hope they find you in good health. Loving God is my way now. I regret to inform you about Mr. Pitt, whose pain increased since the time you all sailed off, but thanks to God he has found comfort at this time and we are thinking he will recover. I regret to inform you about Mr. Bingham, the head of the missionaries; he is making great efforts to take into his own hands the law of this land. We are all delighted by some people who instruct us in goodness and decency, but he wants us to live solely under his laws which are not beneficial for the people of this land. I have worked hard to oppose that and have been able to since that time. Kaahumanu wants [Page 2 of 3] all the power of the land to go to the missionaries, but I will oppose this whenever I have the opportunity, because if it all goes to them, nothing will get done in these islands; they surely will not cultivate any food for themselves. I want the people to learn script and �handwriting and how to do these things, but the missionaries have all the people under them day and night, both the old people and the new, and for that reason, little is getting done at this time. The majority of Hawaiians are angry with the missionaries because we think that the law might fall into their hands. Captain Charlton did not arrive from Tahiti and for that reason I am thinking something bad has befallen him. Mr. Bingham has become lost in his lengthy sermons to the people of this land. King George does not honor God, nor does Lord Byron or any of the royalty [Page 3 of 3] of Britain; they are just wrongdoers and are the only ones remaining, but not all of the heads of Britain and America will be saved. May God send you prosperity and long life. Mrs. Boki sends kind regards to Lord Byron and Mr. Cameron and the honorable Mr. Hill. From Boki [In another hand - Boki's own?] I did not write this. [Archival note in original file] Translation of the above denial: This communication was not written by me. See 259 [Letter cover] Boki’s denial of the not Letter in the Quarterly Review Recd. Apr. 18, 1829 Notes: 1. Boki - Born under the name Kamāʻuleʻule, the high chief was known by the nickname Boki (“Boss”). He was the governor of Oʻahu and an entrepreneur. 2. London Quarterly Review - This was a literary and political periodical published from 1809 to 1967, where the English version of this letter was apparently printed. 3. Mika Pitt - Mr. Pitt, or Billy Pitt was a name taken by Kālaimoku. Kālaimoku, also known as Kalanimoku and William Pitt Kalanimoku, was a trusted advisor of Kamehameha I. During the travels of Liholiho and Kamāmalu to Great Britain, he �4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. co-ruled with Kaʻahumanu, maintaining a leadership role during the first reigning years of the new king, Liholiho's younger brother, Kauikeaouli. Mika Binamu - Rev. Hiram Bingham was in the first company of missionaries that arrived in Hawaiʻi in 1820. Cahomano - Kaʻahumanu was the favorite wife of Kamehameha I and became Kuhina Nui after his death. Captain Charlton - This man was a businessman and the English Consul in Hawaiʻi who was a good friend of Liliha. Lord Byron - A captain in the British Royal navy who returned the bodies of King Kamehameha II and Queen Kamāmalu to Hawaiʻi on the HMS Blonde in May, 1825. Mr. Camrone, Mr. Hill - Mr. Cameron and Mr. Hill, who were greeted by Liliha, are likely other members of the party that escorted the bodies of the king and queen back to Hawaiʻi from England following their death there in 1824.

Let them not say we are tabu - neither let the chiefs go after the prostitutes on board the ships, that is a very shameful thing with our chiefs." This is all which I correctly heard, myself, But there is one more thing. Kahuhu told me. The chief of the man of war said thus to me, "May "The men of my vessel are going up to pull �down Mr. Bingham's house. Let them look out.

You all should be careful or you will quickly be leveled. You should emulate some of the lands in America [where] some women are under restriction and other women are not. In Britain, some women are under restriction and other women are not. The women who observe God are restricted, but the women who do not observe God are not under restriction; leave them to follow their intentions. For you have done much teaching, yet they do not heed what you say. If a foreigner from a ship gives money and some cloth, they take them, and they do not say, [ʻ]We are forbidden[’]. It should definitely not be you, the chiefs, who retrieve prostitutes aboard the ship; it is an embarrassment for our officers.[”] That ended what I heard directly of what he said. Another thing I heard, Kahuhu told me, [“]The commander of the man-o-war said this to me as follows, [ʻ]Men from my ship are heading out to tear down the house of Mr. Bingham, so the two of them should know.[’ ”] That was told to me twice, and twice I told Kaʻahumanu and Bingham. [Page 2 of 4] Here is another thing I heard directly from his mouth, that Bingham is no good, with [his] restrictions on horseback riding on the Sabbath and betting on horses on unrestricted days. Boki Witness David Malo to the writing Kanaina �[Pages 3 & 4 of 4 contain and English translation that was part of the original file, a typescript of which is included above] Notes: 1. ke alii o ka manua - “the commander of the man-o-war” in this letter threatens to tear down the home of Rev. Hiram Bingham, likely for his influence on the chiefs’ views regarding prostitution. The officer, who is unnamed, is probably Lieut. Percival of the Dolphin. The attack seems to have directly followed this warning that Boki describes. 2. Kahuhu - James Kahuhu was associated with the chiefs and was one of the the first to learn English and the written word. 3. Kaahumanu - The favorite wife of Kamehameha I, Kaʻahumanu was the first Kuhina Nui, or co-regent, from 1819-1832. She was a convert and a strong advocate for the Protestant religion. 4. Pinamu - Rev. Hiram Bingham arrived in Hawaiʻi with the first company of missionaries, and became the first reverend of Kawaiahaʻo Church. 5. Boki - Boki, named Māʻuleʻule at birth, a high chief, had accompanied Kamehameha II and Kamāmalu on their fatal visit to London and on his return, served as guardian to the late king's younger brother and successor, Kauikeaouli Kamehameha III, and was governor of Oʻahu. 6. Davida Malo - David Malo was an early Christian convert, a minister and an important advisor to the chiefs. He signed as a witness to Boki's document. 7. Kanaina - Charles Kanaʻina was a man of chiefly lineage who married Miriam Kekāuluohi. Their son, Willian Charles Lunalilo, was the sixth monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. He signed as a witness to Boki's document. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
