Although laws prohibiting Hawaiian citizens from leaving their
island home were not changed for some time, exceptions were made and
occasionally Hawaiian church members were allowed to go to Utah. In 1873 two
Hawaiian boys traveled to Utah with William King and George Nebeker when they
returned in 1873 from their missionary service. Then Harvey H. Cluff, who had
been recently released as mission president, and Elder J. G. Knell as they
returned to Salt Lake City. A newspaper article reporting their arrival further
stated:
“There is a law in the Hawaiian kingdom which prohibits the
natives from emigrating to other parts of the world, but in consequence of the
government [of Hawai’i] having proofs before them that the only disposition of
the community of Latter-day Saints toward the people is to benefit them,
exceptions are made in the cases of those desiring to come to Utah.”
