Pawnee Indian Museum State Historic Site 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. (At left is an unidentified Pawnee man photographed in 1876.)Nominated for the 8 Wonders of Kansas!
