"Pawnee clothing was mostly made of tanned hide or traded cloth. Hide was often smoked over a fire thus getting a light yellow color. Trade cloth was quickly adopted by the Pawnee, who had their first contacts with Europeans already during the first half of the 16th century (Spanish and French)…"

Nice!
OK, I admit I have no plans to paint up a Pawnee war band. I have discovered that this sort of information is hard to come by for many tribal peoples of the world. Yet, 150 years ago, it was extremely important to recognize the different peoples of the Northwest Frontier, Morocco, Central Africa, or the American West by their clothing. So, I applaud anybody who can provide good information like this. Grelber |

Very useful, even though I don't have any Pawnee figures this info can easily used for Eastern Woodland Indian figures that I do have. |

"during the first half of the 16th century (Spanish and French)…" That might be a little early. The Spanish didn't found New Mexico till 1610 and French explorers didn't reach the Illinois country on the Mississippi till the 1670s. Before the 18th century, the main Pawnee contact with Europeans seems to have been as slaves captured by Apache or Siouan raiders benefitting from earlier contact with the European settlements, their trade goods and horses. |
