Paniolo O Hawai'i: Cowboys of the Far West

Paniolo O Hawai'i: Cowboys of the Far West

58 mins | Documentary | March 31, 1998

This award winning feature documentary film redefines our childhood notions of cowboys and indians and the Great American West. In this beautifully crafted movie, Cowboys are the Indians. Hawaii’s Paniolo preceded the American Cowboy but their story remains virtually unheralded in frontier history. The film is a tribute to the men and women who learned much of their riding, roping, and saddle making from the great vaqueros of Alta California.
