Description

Hana paniolo is a famed practice on the island of Hawaiʻi in the area of Waimea and Maunakea as well as on the island of Maui. The first paniolo of Hawaiʻi were taught by the cowboys of Mexico, known as Vaqueros, in the early 1800s due to the large number of wild cattle that were brought to Hawaiʻi. The paniolo of Hawaiʻi were quickly accomplished cowboys, skilled at riding, and handling the wild cattle of the time. Rodeos are events that are held here from that time all the way through today. Perhaps one of the most famous paniolo is Ikua Purdy, a cowboy from Waimea, and he is famed for his skill and for winning the 1908 rodeo world championship held in Wyoming.
