From 1840 to 1848 American Calvinist missionaries sought to indoctrinate the children who would become monarchs of Hawaii by placing them into a residential school. A battle of epic proportions occurred between Moses, the oldest of the students and Amos Cooke the Calvinist missionary selected to run the school as Moses sought to to hang on to his Hawaiian heritage. Moses lost and the remaining pupils suffered cultural genocide, self-worth damage and identity confusion that affected their reigns.
