Title A name given to the resource Marquesas Collection Description An account of the resource <div style="text-align: center;">The Marquesas Collection at the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society Library </div> In June 1853 two ordained Hawaiian ministers, Rev. James K. Kekela and Rev. Samuel Kauwealoha, and their wives, and two deacons and their wives were chosen by the Hawaiian Missionary Board to sail on the English brigantine, Royalist, for the Marquesas Islands located 2,300 miles to the southeast. Accompanied by New England missionary Benjamin Parker of Kaneohe Mission Station, these native couples were the first of 14 Hawaiian families to serve as missionaries in the Marquesas, 1853 - 1909. Supported entirely by the Hawaiian churches and the Hawaiian Evangelical Society, the deputation of native Hawaiian missionaries was predicted to succeed where non-Polynesian missionaries had failed. Although support was strong at first, it diminished over time, and in 1909, with no hope of fresh reinforcements, the last of the surviving Hawaiian missionaries yielded their efforts to French Protestants from Tahiti.  The Marquesas Collection, 1831-1834, 1853-1918, consists of 2.5 linear feet of manuscript material, including personal letters, formal reports of general meetings, and mission station reports. Letters by native Hawaiian missionaries to the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in Honolulu are in the Hawaiian language. A portion of these letters were translated into English in the 1930s by Rev. Henry Pratt Judd, a member of the Hawaiian Board of Missions and the grandson of American Protestant missionary, Gerrit P. Judd. microfilm copies of the e translation can be found at PMB 1171.  Also included in this collection is one folder of documents pertaining to an earlier mission to the Washington Islands (Marquesas), 1831-1834. A preliminary visit to explore the island was made by Messrs. Whitney, Tinker, and Alexander of the Sandwich Islands Mission in 1832. A favorable report led to the departure in July 1833 of American Protestant missionaries Richard Armstrong, W.P. Alexander, and Benjamin W. Parker and their wives to establish a mission in the Marquesas. Their labors proved unsuccessful, however, and the mission was aborted. They returned to the Sandwich Islands the following year to resume their missionary work.

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> 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Title A name given to the resource Micronesian Mission Collection - Hawaiian Evangelical Association Papers Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Hawaiian Evangelical Association (HEA) Subject The topic of the resource Missions--Hawaii--History--19th century. 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> 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
