PAWOKTI PAWPOESIT 



[b. a. e. 



Four tribes of the Pawnee confederacy 

 still survive: the Chaui or Grand Pawnee, 

 the Kitkehahki or Republican Pawnee, 

 the Pitahauerat or Tapage Pawnee, and 

 the Skidi or Wolf Pawnee. 



In 1702 the Pawnee were estimated by 

 Iberville at 2,000 families. In 1838 they 

 numbered about 10,000 souls, according 

 to an estimate by houses by the mission- 

 aries Dunbar and Allis, and the estimate is 

 substantially confirmed by other author- 

 ities of the same period, one putting the 

 number as high as 12,500. The open- 

 ing of a principal emigrant trail directly 

 through thecountry in the'40's introduced 

 disease and dissipation, and left the people 

 less able to defend themselves against the 

 continuous attacks of their enemies, the 

 Sioux. In 1849 they were officially re- 

 ported to have lost one-fourth their num- 

 ber by cholera, leaving only 4,500. In 

 1856 they had increased to 4,686, but 5 

 years later were reported at 3,416. They 

 lost heavily by the removal to Indian Ter. 

 in 1873-75, and in 1879 numbered only 

 1,440. They have continued to dwindle 

 each year until there are now (1906) but 

 649 survivors. 



Messrs Dunbar and Allis of the Presby- 

 terian church established a mission among 

 the Pawnee in 1834, which continued 

 until 1847 when it was abolished owing 

 to tribal wars. In 1883 the Woman's 

 National Indian Association established 

 a mission on the Pawnee reservation in 

 Oklahoma, which in 1884 was transferred 

 to the Methodist Episcopal Church, under 

 whose auspices it is still in operation.
