Kitkehahki ('on a hill.' — Grinnell). 

 One of the tribes of the Pawnee confed- 

 eracy (q.v. ), sometimes called Republican 

 Pawnee, as their villages were at one time 

 on Repu)>lican r. Their villages were 

 always w. of those of the Chaui, or up 

 stream, and were spoken of as the up- 

 per villages. The tribe lived with its 

 kindred on Loup r., Nebr., where their 

 reservation was established in 1857. In 

 1875 they were removed to Oklahoma, 

 where they now dwell. In 1892 they 

 took their lands in severalty and became 

 citizens of the United States. In tribal 

 organization, customs, and beliefs the 

 Kitkehahki did not differ from their 

 congeners. Orinnell (Pawnee Hero Sto- 

 ries, 241, 1889) mentions three divisions, 

 the Great Kitkehahki, Little Kitke- 

 hahki, and Blackhead Kitkehahki.
