AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book attempts to broaden the reader's view of the Pawnees during the years 1870-1875 '…by adding to existing evidence in archives and to other printed sources original selections from Pawnee oral history containing views of events of that time' (p.xi). The author believes that the inclusion of primary source material from Pawnee speakers and descendants of people who actually lived during those years will enrich, and sometimes modify the perspectives expressed in documentary and published sources. Much of the oral history material presented in this document comes from the author's late husband Garland J. Blaine, who himself was a Pawnee. Topics discussed in detail in this work relate to traditional economic pursuits, horse stealing, the 'sacred' relationship between the buffalo (bison) and the Pawnee, Sioux-Pawnee relationships and warfare, U.S. government attempts at acculturation, the reservation system, and the final removal of the Pawnee from Nebraska to a reservation in Indian Territory in Oklahoma (1874-1875).
