Great video and what a wonderful woman. Funny I have the same rules for the kids when they come out to my small farm on Maui. No phones, no internet, or TV. Rarely do they ask for any of those when they are here. Either catching shrimp in the stream, playing with horses, donkeys, and border collies or out on an adventure. I hope our culture doesn't disappear. Though recently I have seen lots of encroaching on the farm and ranch lands. We need to protect!
Howzit Aunty! ❤❤❤🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 My family also has ancestral lands given to my ohana during the great mahele. Joseph Kamainalulu is my great great great grandfather, he’s first cousins with King Lunalilo
*History of the Paniola/Hawaiin Cowboy* To control the booming cattle population, King Kamehameha III appointed Richard Charlton as the Kingdom’s first consul in 1825. Charlton introduced the idea of hiring Mexican vaqueros (cowboys) to help manage the wild cattle. These skilled horsemen brought their knowledge of cattle ranching, roping, and riding to the islands, significantly influencing the birth of the Paniolo tradition. The Mexican vaqueros played a crucial role in teaching Hawaiians the art of cattle ranching. They introduced lariats, saddles, and other essential tools and techniques for handling cattle. The Hawaiians, in turn, adapted these methods to suit their unique environment and needs. This cultural exchange laid the foundation for what would become the Paniolo way of life. The distinctive attire of the Paniolo also evolved to suit the Hawaiian climate and ranching conditions. While they retained elements of the vaquero style, such as wide-brimmed hats and leather boots, Paniolo attire incorporated lighter fabrics and colorful prints, reflecting the influence of Hawaiian culture. This fusion of styles resulted in a distinctive cowboy look that is still celebrated today.
Barbara is not Hawaiian people stop white washing our culture. Just cause someone’s from Hawaii doesn’t make them Kanaka Maoli. We were brown skin and she is def not!!!!!!
Now that’s what I call riding and ranching at it’s very best !! Those kids have no idea how lucky they are to have a teacher and a culture like that !!!! Truly amazing and beautiful and I’d rather ride than go to an overcrowded beach ANY day !!! ❤️🐴
Mahalo nui. This has deepened my appreciation of the legacy of paniola and paniolo. Love the kihoalu music, also a legacy and future for Hawaiian music and culture.
I live in Waimea and appreciate the quiet humility and integrity,honor of this beautiful woman. My own father was pure Hawaiian, I am Hana’s.mahalo Fisheye.
Very impressive documentary! I’m loving this ❤❤Generation to generation thanks for sharing🤙🏽🏆👋🏻Blessings to you and your Ohana sending love from Waimea😘
@@joshfair Paniolo is a Hawaiian word (admittedly possibly based on a Spanish one) but still the Hawaiian word used for cowboy. We don't change last letter to make it feminine in olelo Wonderful short doc on a wonderful woman...but been watching so many youtube docs on well intentioned Hawaiian topics today...where easy to check facts are skewed (eg...wrong portrait of wrong king etc) and the language and pronunciation is irresponsibly mutilated....I guess I just snapped. This is a great doc of a deserving person...and maybe it's an inside, personalized nickname what have you...but again. ...not an actual Hawaiian word. The females in our family do rodeo..and never heard it before by anyone. Also we don't add an s to make a Hawaiian word plural. Na Paniolo not "paniolos" I know I know...too technical...but bringing back Hawaiian language and culture has been such a long hard struggle...it makes no sense to not do it properly.
@@PoiDog2266 Understood. It's not grammatically correct, but a nod to the Spaniards of which the name was originally conceived, as well as an emphasis that she is not the expected male, but female, who is a master of this craft. (link in description)
Most of the cowboys don’t have horse anymo. 4 wheels are popular, dogs help a lot. We are the life here. Cow pie and crops growing. It’s funny but most malahinis never touch the culture and lifestyle.
How come they ain’t say anything about how the king at that time that was gifted some cattle and was messing up its eco system or whatever I’m not too educated on that and that had got outta control and called on Mexico to send vaqueros to show them the way ….
That is the real story. it was Mexican vaqueros that king Kamehameha called upon for help. Spain is the origin of the Cowboy culture and perfected by Mexican people. I did not see a single "paniolo" in the film. just anglos and Native Hawaiians.
Great video. Thank you Nobriga family for sharing, not just the video, but the life lessons to future generations. Those children are learning a priceless lesson in self/culture preservation.
He's on the stage just because he's gay . Nothing more bothing less ! And he got himself a role in a couple of movies just because he's gay too ! 🇺🇸 AMERICA 🇺🇸 😈 👿 is home for satan worshippers and demonic cults 😈 👿
Only mainlanders from the Midwest could call them "paniolas" the actual word is paniolo. A woman paniolo would be a paniola I guess, but if you go around called paniolos "paniolas" you'd better also say "vidya games" and go to "taca bell".
In actuality, there was inspiration behind the title. The word paniola came from the Hawaiian translation of the Spanish word espaniola. Over time, it was changed to paniolo and used to explain both cowboys and cowgirls, but in the article that I linked in description, locals used both versions of the word given their affinities. The creative aspect of changing the name paniolo, to its root female version, isn’t exaggerated at all. It’s a nod to the Spanish culture. Hopefully, that clarifies my thinking behind it for you. Thank you for checking it out.
@@jaypay8954 You're correct! I was referring to where the word derives, but failed to mention it was in Mexico that they came from. And their saddles were Barbara's favorite. :)
@@joshfair Interesting story about the Mexican saddles also known as the Western saddle. Is that originally when Mexico was conquered by Spain the indigenous people and biracial Spanish/indigenous Mexicans were prohibited from using a Spanish saddle due the caste system. So they Mestizo/Indigenous people created their own version of the saddle and added a horn to the saddle and the modifications since they were always doing labor with herding. So the saddle was their ingenuity and usefulness in the day to day life of their daily work on the Haciendas, in English it would be similar I believe to plantations. The riata/lazo (lariat/lasso) was also an invention invented in Mexico by the original Vaqueros. Its amazing the history of the Vaquero (cowboys) and how all that was created due to necessity and ingenuity of the terrain/climate in Mexico for the everyday working persons job could be made easier.
@@jaypay8954 Great insights. It truly is remarkable what people will do to survive, and how when you have more singular focus, you can accomplish so much. We have it so easy to just a couple generations ago because of their hard work. Let's hope we continue to be strong leaders in our fields so we don't let our ancestors down.
You're welcome! We are so blessed to have clients such as yourself. We love you guys! Hope your newlywed journey is being filled with magic and bliss. :)
