After King Kalaniopuu died in the summer of 1781, his family took his remains to the royal mausoleum known as Hale o Keawe at the important religious temple Puuhonua o Hōnaunau. While Kalaniopuu's son Kiwalao had inherited the kingdom, his nephew Kamehameha was given a prominent religious position, as well as the district of Waipio valley. When a group of chiefs from the Kona district, including his brothers and uncles, Keawe-a-Heulu, twins Kamanawa and Kameeiamoku, and Keeaumoku Pāpaiaheahe, offered to back Kamehameha instead of Kiwalao, he accepted eagerly, traveling back from his residence in Kohala.

  • After King Kalaniopuu died in the summer of 1781, his family took his remains to the royal mausoleum known as Hale o Keawe at the important religious temple Puuhonua o Hōnaunau. While Kalaniopuu's son Kiwalao had inherited the kingdom, his nephew Kamehameha was given a prominent religious position, as well as the district of Waipio valley. When a group of chiefs from the Kona district, including his brothers and uncles, Keawe-a-Heulu, twins Kamanawa and Kameeiamoku, and Keeaumoku Pāpaiaheahe, offered to back Kamehameha instead of Kiwalao, he accepted eagerly, traveling back from his residence in Kohala. Kiwalao's half-brother Keōua Kuahuula had been left with no territory from his late father. He went into a rage, cutting down sacred coconut trees (considered a great insult) and killing some of Kamehameha's men. Their bodies were offered as a sacrifice to Kiwalao, who accepted them, and Kamehameha felt he had to respond to the challenge to his honor.
