Pawnees
a tribe of American Indians who formerly resided in Nebraska, with branches extending into Kansas and Texas. They surrendered their lands S. of the Platte by treaty in 1833; suffered much thereafter at the hands of their hereditary enemies, the Sioux; and in 1876 removed, only 2,026 strong, to a reservation of 283,020 acres in Indian Territory. They numbered less than 1,000 in 1920.
