I had thought it was Catholic missionaries that tried to remove the culture? Mormonism didn't even start going until the 1830's, in New York?
and curious as which came first, by this statement?
Over 100 "labor missionaries" again volunteered to help build the Polynesian Cultural Center's original 39 structures on a 12-acre site that had previously been planted in taro, the native root used to make the Hawaiian staple food poi.
Does that mean the Mormons restored the ancient structures which were there before taro was planted, or did they destroy taro plants to restore structures?
