The Pawnee were one of the first few tribes to establish on the Great Plains. The Pawnee came up from their inherited home of Mississippi and east Texas, by the Gulf of Mexico. The Pawnee then established on the Republican, Platte, and Loup rivers, located in current day Nebraska. This area was great for living because it had an ample supply of prey, rich soil, and plenty of rivers/lakes for water.

Adams writes a passionate argument, yet his argument lacks several critical aspects. Adams purpose and passion for writing were much to be desired. Adams was aspiring to graduate college and enter law school to be able to represent his people, the Pawnee Tribe of Oklahoma (Adams 18). The only thing that stood in the way of Adams' goals was a college requirement of an algebra mathematics requirement (19). Adams was one math credit short to graduate (19).

In 1973, the case of Rider VS Board depicted a pair of Pawnee Indian students, both male, who were suspended from school for wearing long hair as a tradition in honor of their ancestors.

called the Pawnees, who were known for being bison hunters and farmers. The Pawnees were located in northern Kansas and south central Nebraska. The Pawnees would call themselves Chaticks-Si-Chaticks, this means “People of People,” or “Men of Men.” Pawnee is an unclear name that many people didn’t know what it meant. It seems to be a number of groups on central Plains. The Pawnees went through major struggle as they had to fight to live against disease, warfare, and the loss of their resources. Caddoan
Knope represents an ideal politician – someone who is always fighting for what is right and is leading by example. For instance, due to the polluted state of the Pawnee River, Leslie proclaims that she would be personally cleaning the river every Saturday morning, a promise which she kept. She also simply cares about the people of Pawnee, often holding public forums to hear their opinions, no matter how absurd the opinions may be. These are ideal qualities of Leslie, as it shows her dedication to
In 1492, after Christopher Columbus famously sailed the ocean blue, he discovered lands that were already inhabited by indigenous people. Nevertheless, for more than 80 years, Americans have celebrated Columbus Day on the second Monday of October.

According to Hochschild, “attitudes toward men’s and women’s roles have been referred to as gender ideologies” (as cited in Helgeson, 2012, p. 68). There are currently three different gender role ideologies that can be measured through the Attitudes Toward Women Scale (ATWS). The three ideologies include egalitarian, the belief that men and women should equally share in both household and workforce duties, traditional, the belief that women only do housework and men only are in the workforce, and
and buried with all of their belongings, including horses, if the deceased possessed one and did not specify otherwise. Burials were highly reflective of one’s status, impacting “burial location, grave size, and burial architecture” (O’Shea 74). Pawnee is considered to be a stratified society, “first on the basis of descent and secondarily through personal achievement” (O’Shea 72). This system was highly rigid, and no amount of personal achievement could supercede one’s status from birth, although

Parks and Recreation is a political satire sitcom about a Parks and Recreations department in the city of Pawnee, Indiana. Many of the events portrayed in the show are based on real life ones, and the cast has moments where they perform “interviews” with invisible, non-existent cameramen (mockumentary-style). To go along with this show’s style, the focus would be Pokémon Go in 2016. To best understand the relationships between the characters at the stage they would be in this episode, the best episode

Television has been a part of the American culture for quite some time.

In the TV shows I watched as a child, the male and female characters were treated equally and when the girls were told “you can’t do that because you're a girl,” they proved them wrong every time. But as I grew up the content of the shows matured
