History Of

After more than a century of hardships in remote Kalaupapa, on the island of Moloka‘i in Hawai‘i a settlement for Hansen’s disease patients and home of two Saints, is the result of perseverance of the patients. Many lessons this history has taught the world from this small isolated yet special place. The vital instructive lessons of cultural sensitivity are taught through the failure of a federal medical research investigation station. The Hawaiian lessons are those that impact us daily: sacrifice, family and love. This chapter provides a brief history of Kalaupapa, its current state, valuable lessons learned, and how Kalaupapa has provided to the world a model of charity, forgiveness, and blessings.
