Andrew Pine Kauai, Sr.

Year Inducted: 2001

Ulupalakua Ranch | Hawai'i
Kahuku Ranch | Hawai'i

He says he learned everything he knows of paniolo life from his father and grandfathers. In the true paniolo tradition, Andrew is a “generational” Hawaiian cowboy. At age 16, he was a working cowboy, and later, foreman on Ulupalakua Ranch. He also worked on Kahuku Ranch in Ka`u, Hawai`i. But his special memories are driving cattle from Kaupo Manawainui up through Kahikinui to Ulupalakula Ranch, a journey that took 25 cowboys four days to drive a thousand head of cattle. In his retirement, Andrew is passing on his mana`o to his sons and mo`opuna. They know , when they hear his friends say, “he is a great cowboy, and a great human being”, that there is no greater praise for a true paniolo.
