Pitahwarita

The Pitahwarita were a southern band of the Pawnee, whose villages stood near rivers in present-day Nebraska.

An account of a late eighteenth-century conflict describes them joining the Chaui and Kitkehaki against the Skidi Pawnee. Around 1830, a Pitahwarita warrior captured the Cheyenne Sacred Arrows in battle; the Cheyenne stopped fighting and returned home.
