message: It is quite interesting to see the unfavorable portraits of the Pawnee in fiction. While the Morning Star Ritual is an unattractive feature of their history it doesn't like enough to create the almost relentless anti-Pawnee thinking seen in "Dances with Wolves" and "Little Big Man" among other works. I know that the Pawnee were used as generic "bad guys" in some of the western novels of my youth as well as those films. 
I think this is partly due to the glamorous portrayals of the Lakota and thus the demonization of their enemies. Also, the Pawnee sometimes guided and/or sided with the U.S. Cavalry. But both those factors, including riding with Custer, can also be attributed to the Crow and the Crow don't get the bad press the Pawnee do. 76.28.103.69 (talk) 04:11, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

message: It says he was the first Native American elected to statewide office. This appears to be incorrect.  Charles Curtis, of Kaw, Osage and Pottawatomie, and European descent, was popularly elected a US Senator from Kansas in 1920 and 1926, and elected Vice-President on a ticket with Herbert Hoover in 1928.--Parkwells (talk) 04:24, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Usually articles like this give the origin of the name but I don't see it here. If I'm not mistaken, the name comes from the French Canadians, who had taken the original name from one of the Siouan tribes. Maybe omebody can find a source? 
Also, the lead section has a couple of (I think) contradictory parts. One sentence has, "the Pawnee people refer to themselves as Parikitaru...," but that is followed by the last sentence which reads, "Their autonym is Chahiksichahiks...," which seems contradictory. Hopefully someone knows the answer. __209.179.36.56 (talk) 04:34, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I second this motion; what does "Pawnee/Panis" mean, and who pinned this label on the Parikitaru? Article is silent on this crucial point. Laodah 03:06, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
