The Pawnee Nation was the dominant power of the
Central Plains for hundreds of years. This museum tells
the story of an 1820s Pawnee village. The most remarkable
feature is the museum’s centerpiece – the excavated floor
of a large 1820s Pawnee earth lodge. Feel the spirits of the
past while walking the perimeter of the lodge and view the
rare sacred bundle that hangs above the altar. After touring
the museum, walk the interpretive trail that winds through
the depressions marking other lodges. Learn about the
people of the Pawnee Nation, and their stories when you
visit the Pawnee Indian Museum.
