When Kamehameha heard that Kahekili had died in Oahu, and that the government of Oahu was under the control of Kalaikupule, his son, he set sail and arrived at Oahu, where he fought Kalaikupule at the famous pali of Nuuanu. Kalaikupule was defeated by Kamehameha. In this battle the people of Oahu were massacred at the cliffs of Nuuanu. The people stepped upon each other, and the people that day were in heaps at the bottom of the cliffs of Nuuanu. And by this battle the whole group of islands, including Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe and Kauai,31 was conquered by Kamehameha.
