Mokuaikaua Church

Mokuaikaua is an active congregation, not a museum. If services are in progress, do not enter as a visitor. Outside of services, the church is open and free; behave the way you would in any active church — quiet, no flash photography, no posing in the pews. The history this building represents is genuinely complicated for the Hawaiian community; the literacy work is one record, the disease and land-loss are another. Do not narrate the building's significance to people who live with the broader history every day.
