That's a strange question and in many ways Pawnee men were not unique. If you really look hard you can find some unique elements to apply to Pawnee men, but the same statements can also be applied to the men of any other native American tribe, which cancels out its uniqueness:
- only Pawnee men (and women, and children) spoke the Pawnee language
- Pawnee men often cut their hair in a strip front to back, plucking hair from the sides of the head and painting the bare parts red (but the Osage did exactly the same thing). A website claiming that the Pawnee warrior hairstyle was unique is very much mistaken and a typical example of false, misleading or incorrect information provided by many websites. In fact the Pawnee word for the warrior's hairstyle means "like the Osage".
- Pawnee men wore the seams of their leggings down the front of the leg (but so did the Kansas and others)
- Pawnee men called themselves Chahiksichahiks, meaning "men of men." Many other tribes used different terms with the same or similar meaning.
- Pawnee men wore turbans of decorated otter skin to indicate rank, instead of feather heddresses - but so did the Iowas, Missouri and others.
