The Pawnee were one of the first few tribes to establish on the Great Plains. The Pawnee came up from their inherited home of Mississippi and east Texas, by the Gulf of Mexico. The Pawnee then established on the Republican, Platte, and Loup rivers, located in current day Nebraska.

This was a “violation” of a school rule that stated that hair could not go past the collar. The court did not hear the case

called the Pawnees, who were known for being bison hunters and farmers. The Pawnees were located in northern Kansas and south central Nebraska. The Pawnees would call themselves Chaticks-Si-Chaticks, this means “People of People,” or “Men of Men.” Pawnee is an unclear name that many people didn’t know what it meant. It seems to be a number of groups on central Plains. The Pawnees went through major struggle as they had to fight to live against disease, warfare, and the loss of their resources. Caddoan

There are currently three different gender role ideologies that can be measured through the Attitudes Toward Women Scale (ATWS). The three ideologies include egalitarian, the belief that men and women should equally share in both household and workforce duties, traditional, the belief that women only do housework and men only are in the workforce, and
and buried with all of their belongings, including horses, if the deceased possessed one and did not specify otherwise. Burials were highly reflective of one’s status, impacting “burial location, grave size, and burial architecture” (O’Shea 74). Pawnee is considered to be a stratified society, “first on the basis of descent and secondarily through personal achievement” (O’Shea 72).

Parks and Recreation is a political satire sitcom about a Parks and Recreations department in the city of Pawnee, Indiana.

But as I grew up the content of the shows matured
