The Pawnee are a Plains people, traditionally living in what is now Nebraska and northern Kansas. They were a sedentary people living in villages of earth lodges where the women and young girls were responsible for growing the community's crops consisting of ten different varieties of corn, seven varieties of pumpkin and squashes and eight varieties of beans.

The men and adolescent boys of the village were the hunters providing the meat which, after the aquisition of the horse, consisted mainly of buffalo. After a successful hunt the kills would be taken back to the village where the women would skin the animals and then be responsible for the butchery. What meat wasn't eaten straight away they sliced into strips, then dried and smoked over slow fires and then stored for the winter months and when prepared this way it would, if neccessary, stay edible for years.
