| Bio notes | Also known as Punins, Pani. A Caddoan-speaking Midwestern tribe with historical territory in the Great Plains regions of Platte River, Nebraska and Central Kansas. They encountered but did not really interact with Europeans until the 17 and 18th centuries, thus preserving their population from disease until the 1830s, around which time they were pressured by incoming Siouan and American settlers to cede land through multiple treaties. The Pawnee then settled on a reservation along the Nebraskan Loup River in 1857. |
