The Resistance of Princess Ruth

She owned nine percent of Hawaii but chose a grass hut over a palace.

Ruth understood English perfectly but refused to speak it. To talk to her,

you spoke Hawaiian. Governing three hundred thousand acres, she used her wealth to preserve

the land for her people. That land founded the Kamehameha Schools. Now,

thousands of children learn their native culture. Princess Ruth died long ago,

but every time her language is spoken, she still wins. Discover more historical
