BRIEFS from page 6 Pali battle recalled A commemoration of the 1795 Battle of Nu'uanu, whieh resulted in a decisive win for Kamehameha I in his quest to unify the Hawaiian islands, will be held at the Pali Lookout on April 30. Since 1995, Nā Papa Kānaka o Pu'u Koholā has organized the event of the historic battle in whieh the forces of Kamehameha I drove the warriors of Kalanikūpule over the pali. The organization is a multi-island affiliation of practitioner groups involved in Hawaiian chant, protocol, hula, lua and other expressions of 'ike Hawai'i. In solemn ceremonies that follow ancient and modern Hawaiian protocol, the event will honor the spirits of those who fell — not only the victors, but the vanquished as well. The event will feature a retelling of the battle, a ho'okupu ceremony and demonstrations of hula and lua, or Hawaiian martial art. The commemoration is a deeply spiritual activity. Those planning to attend should be prepared to be fully respectful of both the history of the event and of the contemporary participants. The event begins at 5:30 a.m. For more information, eall 808-842-8719.
