Pawnee

WHEN AND WHERE From c.1250 CE, Great Plains, US

AFTER 1875 The Pawnee are relocated from their lands in Nebraska to a new reservation in Oklahoma.

1891–92 Many Pawnee adopt the new Ghost Dance religion, which promises resurrection for their ancestors.

1900 The US census records a Pawnee population of just 633; over the next four decades, traditional Pawnee religious practices dwindle and die out.

20th century The Pawnee Nation is mainly Christian, its people belonging to the Indian Methodist, Indian Baptist, or Full Gospel Church. Some Pawnee are members of the Native American Church.
The world and we ourselves were created by Tirawahat, the expanse of the heavens.

He told us the earth is our mother, the sky is our father.

If we make our lodges to encircle the earth and encompass the sky, we invite our mother and father to live with us. If we open our lodges to the east, Tirawahat can enter with the dawning sun. Our lodges are a miniature version of the cosmos.

The earth lodge was a mini-cosmos in the Pawnee tradition, and was constructed accordingly. This Pawnee family stands at an earth lodge entrance at Loup, Nebraska in 1873.
