Grand Pawnee
The Grand Pawnee, or Chaui, were the leading band of the Pawnee confederation, residing primarily along the Platte River in present-day Nebraska. As the most prominent Pawnee band, the Chaui chiefs often served as principal negotiators in diplomatic engagements with European and American powers. The Grand Pawnee entered into treaties with the United States as part of early 19th-century diplomatic efforts to establish peace and trade relations with the nations of the central Plains.
