Hawai\u2018i boasts its very own cowboy\u2014the paniolo\u2014who learned to rope and ride several decades before cowboys colored the plains of America\u2019s \u201cWild West.\u201d Their mark is found in upcountry Hawai\u2018i Island and Maui, where paniolo roam inland pasture and greened-over, volcanic cinder cones.<\/p>\n

British Captain George Vancouver brought the first long-horned cattle to Hawai\u2018i in 1793 as a gift to King Kamehameha I. The grateful king placed a kapu (Hawaiian code of conduct)\u2014carrying a death penalty\u2014on their slaughter so they could multiply on Hawai\u2018i Island. Soon, there were enormous herds terrorizing everything in their path.<\/p>\n

To contain the wild-eyed beasts, Hawaiian royalty summoned the seasoned cowboys of Old Mexico to the islands in 1832. The dashing vaqueros quickly taught Hawaiians how to tame the unruly bullocks. It\u2019s thought the Hawaiian word paniolo originates from the Spanish word, espa\u00f1ol. These early island cattlemen are credited with supplying beef to the hordes of prospectors during California\u2019s Gold Rush.<\/p>\n

The Story of Ikua Purdy and Parker Ranch<\/h3>\n

Hawai\u2018i\u2019s most famous paniolo is Ikua Purdy, who roped his way into history at the 1908 Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He wowed the West by securing his steer in 56 seconds flat\u2014on a borrowed mount\u2014and brought home the world championship. His feat is immortalized in a larger-than-life bronze at the Big Isle\u2019s Parker Ranch Center in Waimea.<\/p>\n

Born in Waimea, Purdy was the great-grandson of Kipikane, granddaughter of Kamehameha I and John Palmer Parker, founder of Parker Ranch\u2014one of the largest, privately owned ranches in the U.S., Parker came to the Big Isle in 1809 as a 19-year-old sailor who jumped ship. He established Parker Ranch in 1847, which today sprawls 130,000 acres and runs 15,000 head of cattle.<\/p>\n

Parker\u2019s original, Koa wood-lined home, Mana Hale, is open to visitors and displays authentic paniolo artifacts, including \u201cshipping\u201d saddles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese saddles were worn in the ocean to get cattle aboard transport ships,\u201d details Nahua Guilloz of Parker Ranch. She says mounted paniolo accompanied swimming cattle, which were tethered to long boats, out to a waiting freighter in Kawaihae Harbor. A crane hoisted the animals up on the ship and Mana Hale has a photo to prove it.<\/p>\n

The ranch\u2019s historic Pukalani Stables is home to the new Paniolo Heritage Center. Also free, it\u2019s open on Wednesdays during the Waimea Midweek Market and operated by the Paniolo Preservation Society (PPS).<\/p>\n

The center houses the O\u2018ahu Cattleman Association\u2019s Paniolo Hall of Fame; it chronicles the state\u2019s growing list of standout ranchers and horsemen.

\u2018Ulupalakua Ranch, Maui<\/h3>\n

Further up the scenic slopes of Haleakala is \u2018Ulupalakua Ranch; it\u2019s privy to breathtaking views. Roaming over 18,000 acres, the ranch has 3,500 head of cattle. At the end of Highway 37, find the historic ranch store and Tedeschi Winery & Tasting Room. Serving the ranch since the 1800s, the store serves local beef and elk burgers. Outside are four, hand-carved statues by Reems Mitchell. Two depict legendary \u2018Ulupalakua paniolo\u2014the late Kauhi Purdy and Jimmy Hapakuka\u2014and all make for great photo opps.<\/p>\n

Paniolo Contributions to Music, Language, and More<\/h3>\n

Since their inception in the 1830s, paniolo have contributed to Hawai\u2018i in many ways. Their popular traditions, like ki ho\u2018alu, (slack key guitar), hail from pastimes often enjoyed after a long day of work. And as paniolo of all ethnic descents used the Hawaiian language for ranch terminology (and still do today)\u2014they are credited as \u201ckeepers of the Hawaiian language.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Billy Bergin, PPS founder, adds, \u201cFrom introducing methods of land and water conservation, to making advances in veterinary medicine, to spearing botanical surveys and agronomical improvements\u2014paniolo have helped shape Hawai\u2018i history and the Hawaiian way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n
