The Pawnee are Native Americans who originally lived in what is now central Nebraska and central Kansas in the basins of the Platte and Republican rivers. The Pawnee spoke a Caddoan language. Prior to 1833 they lived in large villages along the Platte River where they farmed and hunted mostly bison. Nineteenth century Pawnee society included a series of class-like hierarchical divisions. Resettlement in Indian Territory made traditional subsistence methods impossible. They now live on a reservation in north-central Oklahoma.
