History at Your feet by Andre Melillo
“ Do I have to go?” Sam asked. “Look, I’ve got sores on my feet from walking so much.” Sam, his sister Kim, and their family were on their way to the Pawnee Indian Village Museum. Mom gave Sam some bandage strips and said, “You’ll enjoy learning about the people of the Pawnee nation.” Letting out a big sigh, Sam loosened his sandal straps and trudged out to the car.
The origins of the Pawnee tribe are mysterious. In the early 1800s, there were 10,000-30,000 Pawnee living in four separate bands.  “ This museum is located where one band of Pawnee settled back in 1820,” explained Mom.
“ We’re standing exactly where the Pawnee lived!” exclaimed Kim in amazement. “ That’s right,” said dad. “Here’s part of the original floor,” he said, pointing. “You can see some burned timbers from the fire that destroyed the village.” Sam had to admit that being in the midst of all that history was exciting.
“ What was it like to live back then?” he wondered aloud. A museum guide spoke up. “It happens to be my responsibility to tell you just that. The Pawnee hunted mostly buffalo and used every part of the animals they killed for food and clothing. They let nothing go to waste.”
“ Clothing?” said Kim. Buffalo aren’t shaped like any clothing I’ve ever seen.” Everyone chuckled. “They’d sew a patchwork of pieces into warm winter robes and pants,” explained the guide.
