"No-wah" . . . Welcome to the Pawnee Nation Website.
The PAWNEE name is derived from the Caddoan word "pani" meaning
"horn", describing the upright scalplock that was our unique hairstyle among
the Native Americans of that day. The PAWNEE Tribal members are comprised of
four confederated bands of Indians: the Skidi, the Wolf; the Chaui, the
Grand; the Kitkihaki, Tapage; and the Pitahauwit, Republican. The PAWNEE
are the only Tribe not to war against the U.S. Government. The PAWNEE gain
fame as scouts for the United States Army, and a battalion of our elders
served from 1865 to 1885 within the army in the Plains.
