Pawnee Indian Museum State Historic Site
Pawnee Indian Museum State Historic Site, Archaeological museum in Republic, Kansas
The museum building encloses the excavated floor of a large Pawnee earth lodge, maintaining artifacts in their original positions from the late 1700s.
Lieutenant Zebulon Pike visited this Pawnee village in 1806, where he convinced the inhabitants to replace the Spanish flag with the American flag.
The Pawnee earth lodge features a dome roof representing the universe, with an east-facing entrance toward the Morning Star and a sacred area at the back.
The museum operates from April through October, Wednesday to Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM, located eight miles north of U.S. 36 on K-266.
A reproduction of a 300-year-old Pawnee star chart, originally painted on buckskin, demonstrates the astronomical knowledge of these Native Americans.
