His journey changed Hawai’i forever… The lone survivor of a village killed in King Kamehameha’s conquests, teenage Henry Opukaha’ia swam out to a ship and voyaged for two years before landing in New England. Opukaha’ia was soon adopted into a family and became a scholar whose writings have changed Hawai’i forever. Inspired by Opukaha’ia, three Hawaiians and 14 New Englanders sailed across the globe as the first missionary team to Hawai’i.
