Abstract
This chapter focuses on the Labor Missionary Program, which provided the labor for the construction of the Church College of Hawaiʻi in 1956 and the Polynesian Cultural Center in 1963. These institutions are sites of transcultural syncretism that come into tension with prior, fundamental tensions between the customs and practices of Kanaka Latter-day Saints and the modernization embraced by church leaders. The various articulations of modernity circulating during this time are examined by reading and comparing the narratives of Polynesian labor missionaries, American supervisors, and church leaders.
