In
1999 we established the Paniolo Hall
of Fame, by presenting awards of
honor and recognition to individuals for
their contributions to the paniolo heritage
and for perpetuating the industry.
There are now 81 members of the Paniolo
Hall of Fame.
PANIOLO ORAL HISTORY PROJECT
We
are pleased to announce the completion of
the Oral History Interviews book for
2003, which people are now adding to
their collection. Previously printed books
for 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 are also available
for purchase.
In addition, we have a Members Book
which includes pictures and brief
biographies of all members inducted from
1999 through 2002.
Members inducted after 2002 will be
included in a second book to be compiled
later. A link to an order form for all existing books
is found at the top of this webpage. Books are sold at our cost to print and handle.
These oral interviews are an ongoing effort to
capture the life stories of our paniolo for
posterity.
All Interviews and pictures are also
posted on our website and can be reviewed
and downloaded for free.
We
are very thankful for our ongoing sponsors
who make the Hall of Fame and Oral History
Interview Project possible.

The
Paniolo Hall of Fame was initiated by the
O`ahu Cattlemen’s Association in 1999 to
recognize yesterday’s and today’s
paniolo statewide who have contributed to
keeping Hawai`i’s paniolo heritage alive,
and to honor those who made the paniolo
culture legendary.
Now
in it’s 8th year, there are 94 members, both living and deceased, in the
Paniolo Hall of Fame including 13 new
members who will be inducted in November,
2007.
All of the islands are represented by
its members.
All of these paniolo are selected through a
nomination process.
The O`ahu Cattlemen’s Association
mails out the criteria and nomination forms
annually.
Anyone may request and submit a
nomination form.
The
Paniolo Hall of Fame presently consists of
photo portraits, short biographies and oral
history interviews.
The portrait exhibit has been
displayed at Honolulu Hale (City Hall), at
the Annual Statewide Paniolo Festival, at
the Hawaii Cattlemen’s Council annual
meeting, at Parker Ranch Museum and the
Hawaii State Library.
It continues to circulate to various
locations statewide and may be requested by
contacting OCA.
Oral
History Interviews of the living Hall of
Fame members have been completed for the
O`ahu Cattlemen’s Association by Anna
Ilima Loomis, consulting with the Center for
Oral History, University of Hawai`i.
The objective of the interview
project is to capture the life stories of as
many of these paniolo as possible, before
they are lost to future generations. The
Oral History Interview project will continue
into future years, as long as OCA is able to
raise the funds for the project.
Contributions are welcome.
The
published interviews are available for
purchase from OCA, and are also accessible
through the Hawai`i State Library System,
and at the University of Hawai`i Center for
Oral History.
The
O`ahu Cattlemen’s Association is grateful
for the cooperation of the many paniolo
scattered throughout these islands, their
families; and our many sponsors, big and
small, who have made this project possible.
