The image clearly shows the impact the missionaries had on Hawaii. From this piece of artwork you can see the traditional Hawaiian building styles followed by western style structures in the background. This shows the occupation of the Hawaiian islands and a need to integrate into a western lifestyle and alter a civilisation in order to recognise a western style of life, an aspect of the missionary movement. It shows a clear sense of land ownership by the western world and suggests the beginning of a missionary movement, to occupy lands, education, religion and day to day life. In 1837 Jules Dudoit, who was of French background was made consular agent for France and in the same year a convention on French-Hawaiian relations was signed, showing just how integrated the islands became.
