Author's Note
The Pawnee, Pi-ta-da, have been known to the white men since perhaps 1541, and certainly since 1673. They were the most numerous and powerful of the tribes constituting the Caddoan linguistic stock, and one of the most important of the entire Plains area. Since the earliest definite historic mention of them, they have been residents in Nebraska and in the extreme northern portion of Kansas, particularly on the Loop, Platte, and Republican rivers.
As a tribe, the Pawnee were friendly. They never fought against the United States. They decided that their day was done and the only course was to keep the peace and try to learn from their conquerors. They were also motivated in good part by a fondness for the white way of life.
The Pawnee were one of the few North American Indian tribes who practiced human sacrifice. They believed that long ago the Morning Star, celebrating his conquest over the Evening Star, brought light and fertility to the world of the Pawnee. They further believed that the mating of these two great stars produced the first human beinga young girl. At times, the Morning Star would demand the return of the first human being. To propitiate the Morning Star and ensure a bountiful harvest, the Pawnee would capture and sacrifice a young girl.
The name, Pawnee (Pa'ni) is conceded to mean Wolf, and was given to the Pawnee because of their method of warfare, their skill as scouts, their custom of simulating wolves while on the war path, and their tireless endurance.
The Pawnee were also great fighters and raiders against their neighbor, the Comanche.

Nebraska, 1821
The hush of evening lay over everything. The rays of the setting sun streamed between the trunks of lofty trees, casting alternate lines of golden light and deep shade across a land that was unique in its raw beauty. It was a startling combination of hearty vegetation, rivers and lakes, and abundant wildlife...
Upon a bluff, a lone Indian warrior was silhouetted against the blazing sunset as he sat stiffly on his beautiful black gelding. The warrior's eyes grew dark with hungry passion as he watched a barefoot, lithe, and shapely Pawnee maiden carrying wood from the darkening forest toward her village. Her hair was worn in two braids, the part in the middle daubed with red paint. She was dressed in a deerhide blouse and wrap-around skirt that fell to below her knees.
Sun Eagle looped his horse's reins more tightly around his fingers, his gaze absorbing the seductive sway of the maiden's hips, driving him almost to madness with wanting her. One day not long ago he had accidentally come upon her bathing in the river, and had only observed her up closely for a brief time.
But that had been enough for him to have memorized her slender, golden body now blossomed into a woman of perhaps seventeen or eighteen winters. Beneath the golden color of her skin a glow of red just barely showed through,
