Nuuanu Pali is where Hawaii was unified — the cliff lookout where Kamehameha's army drove the Oahu forces to the edge in May 1795 and the warriors leapt rather than surrender. Kaleleka'anae — the leaping mullet — the battle named for the men going over the thousand-foot drop. Four hundred died at the cliff; the unification of the islands was sealed at the Pali. The skulls are the evidence — the eight hundred found in 1898 when the Old Pali Road was built, the bones of the warriors who chose the fall. The lookout is the view over the windward coast the battle was fought for — the wind that never stops, the cliff that took the army, the spot where Hawaii became one kingdom.
