Summary

[edit]
Description The missionaries struggled to get their message to the Hawaiians, eventually realizing they needed not only to translate the scriptures into Hawaiian, but that they had to teach the Hawaiians to read. The missionaries set about translating the spoken language into written form and, using an imposed alphabet, finally translated the scriptures into Hawaiian. In 1822, in the Printing House on the grounds, the first sheets of printed material produced in the islands were pulled from the mission's press by High Chief Ke'eaumoku II.
