Between 1866 and 1969, an estimated 8,000 individuals were sent to Molokai's remote Kalaupapa peninsula because they were believed to have leprosy. They left a powerful testimony of their lives in the form of letters, petitions, music, memoirs, and oral history interviews. This combines more than 200 hours of interviews with archival documents, including over 300 letters and petitions written by the earliest residents translated from Hawaiian.
