PAWNEE

The Pawnee Indians were an American indian tribe. For a long time they were inhabitants of Nebraska on the Platte and were always friendly to the White Americans. By a treaty in 1833 they sold lands south of the Nebraska. They were afterward attacked by the Sioux and their lands devastated. In 1857 they sold more of their lands, but the American Government did not protect them from further ravages by the Sioux.
