Pawnee villages usually consisted of 10 to 15 earth lodge dwellings housing around 350 people, who could move freely between one earth lodge and another. This was done on foot, since it was no distance from one to another.
If a small group wanted to visit relatives in another village they would go on horseback.
The Pawnee Indians were the original inhabitants of Nebraska and Kansas. They were forced to move to a reservation in Oklahoma in the 1800's. They used permanent earth lodge villages as their homes.
The Pawnee inhabited the Great Plains region, characterized by vast grasslands, rolling hills, and rivers. They utilized the land for hunting bison, farming corn, and establishing villages along water sources. The landscape provided both challenges and resources that shaped Pawnee culture and way of life.
Pawnee villages were composed of earth lodges. These were semi-subterranean structures with large wooden posts supporting a circular roof covered with branches, thatch and turves, all encased in a coating of waterproof clay. From the outside they looked like huge igloos of mud. The Pawnee used tipis only for temporary hunting camps at certain times of year - their permanent villages were entirely of earth lodges.

The Pawnee people primarily relied on hunting and agriculture rather than herding sheep. They cultivated crops such as maize, beans, and squash and lived in semi-permanent earthlodges, which were more substantial than temporary structures. While they did not build permanent villages in the same sense as some other tribes, their earthlodge communities were often seasonally occupied and could be regarded as semi-permanent. Overall, their lifestyle was more nomadic, centered around the bison hunt and farming.
The Pawnees were historically four tribes: the Skidi, Kitkehaxki, Tsawi and Pitahawirata. Originally each tribe had several villages; in about 1700 the Skidi had between 12 and 19 villages. Their dwellings were semi-permanent earth lodges, with tipis used only briefly when hunting buffalo on the Plains. They lived along the Platte, Loup and Republican Rivers in present-day Nebraska and Northern Kansas, but they had earlier migrated there from further east.
