Aloha Na Paniola!
Aloha Na Paniola!Founded in 1992 to preserve and share the rich history, culture and heritage of the Hawaiian Paniolo (cowboys), and to provide Hawaii cowgirls with a forum for rodeo competition, the Hawaii Women’s Rodeo Association (HWRA) has grown into a family-oriented organization whose more than 50 members now include men, women and children. HWRA members enjoy rodeo competition and are committed to preserving the heritage of the Paniolo. Indeed, some of our members are third- and fourth-generation “Paniolos” tracing their family’s roots back to some of the first Hawaiian cowhands.
