Pawnee tribe

Born: USA, Oklahoma

The history of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma spans 700 years, and at one point in the 18th century over sixty thousand members of the tribe inhabited the area along the North Platt River in Nebraska. To this day, the tribe consists of four different 'bands': the Chaui “Grand,” the Kitkehahki “Republican,” the Pitahawirata “Tappage” and the Skidi “Wolf.” Today the Pawnee people still observe their proud cultural heritage rich in myth, symbolism and elaborate rites.
