The name of the tribe is deprived from the term Pani ( meaning Split-Horns) referring to their traditional warrior Mohawk and Scalp-Lock hairstyles.Historically, the Pawnee lived as a semi-nomadic people along the outlying tributaries of the Missouri and Platte rivers in Nebraska and Northern Kansas . They were Horse nomads on the Central Plains where they lived in Tipis and permanent Earth lodge villages where they farmed . They left the villages to hunt Buffalo , which was essential to their cultural way of life.In the early 19th century, the Pawnee numbered over 10,000 people and were one of the largest and strongest groups of Native people on the Great Plains . Because of their surperior numbers and skill in raiding, they feared no threats by other tribes. They had escaped some of the exposure to European infectious diseases impacting other Native American groups. By 1862, disease and warfare had devastated their Population to about 1,200 people. In the mid-1870s due to pressure from Westward expansion by European-Americans , the tribe ceded most of their traditional hunting lands and territory to the U.S. Government , after this they were relocated to the Indian territory in Oklahoma due to former service as scouts for the army during the Indian Wars and continual tribal clashes on the Plains with the Lakota Sioux as well as other tribes , whom the Pawnee had come in conflict against for centuries . Today , most of the enrolled members of the tribe live on distant Reservation land in northern Oklahoma .Their autonym is Chahiks-si-Chahiks, meaning "men of men"."@en }
