Murie, a Skidi Pawnee, prepared this discussion of Pawnee societies under the direction of Clark Wissler. Murie collected and wrote down whatever information he could gather on a number of topics. After preliminary discussion of Pawnee social and ceremonial organization, he proceeds to discuss the bundle societies, private organizations, medicinemen's societies and modern ceremonies, including the Ghost Dance and the peyote ritual. He closes with a section on miscellaneous. Murie was a primary informant for most of the earlier field workers among the Pawnee.
