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 its 9th year, there
are 94 members, both living and deceased, in
the Paniolo Hall of Fame. 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 on
display at Honolulu Hale (City Hall), at the
Annual Statewide Paniolo Festival, at the
Hawaii Cattlemen’s Council annual meeting,
at
Parker
Ranch
Museum
, the Hawaii State Library and numerous
events and venues on all the islands.
It continues to circulate to various
locations statewide and may be requested by
contacting OCA.
Hawai`i
’s surviving paniolo are among the last of
a long and colorful chapter in
Hawai’`i’s history that should be
preserved. The Paniolo Hall of Fame Oral
History project presently consists of 42
completed interviews with living Paniolo
Hall of Fame members. Another 11 interviews
will soon begin. The objective of the
interview project is to capture and record
the life stories of as many paniolo as
possible, before they are lost to future
generations. The Oral History project will
continue into future years, as long as OCA
is able to maintain it.
Contributions from businesses,
individuals and foundations are making this
project possible.
The published interviews are
available for purchase from OCA, and are
also accessible through the Hawai`i State
Library System.
The O`ahu Cattlemen’s Association
is grateful for the cooperation of the many
paniolo scattered throughout these islands,
their families, and the many sponsors big
and small, who have made the Paniolo Hall of
Fame possible.
