One can't really characterize a whole people as "evil" or "sweet".

The Sioux continually raided the Pawnee. The Sioux, after they were forced west by the Ojibwe, had a patrilineal warrior based society not unlike the Zulu that controlled and harassed other peoples around them like an empire.

In the 18th century, the Pawnee were allied with the French. They played an important role in stopping the Spanish from moving onto the Great Plains by decisively defeating the Villasur expedition in battle in 1720. The Pawnee were captured and sold into slavery in Canada by many groups. The word Pawnee became in French Panis and meant "Indian slave". They had matrilineal, village based agricultural society. They were once one of the most numerous people of their area. Epidemics and the Sioux attacks reduced their population from 12,000 in 1830 to 3,400 in 1859. In one ceremony, they practiced child sacrifice.

Every group has good and bad aspects in it from an outside perspective.
