Kus'lecha

Kus’lecha is a recorded name for the Loup River of Nebraska, a tributary of the Platte. Its forks drain the rolling grasslands and sandy hills of the central Plains, joining to form a river that flows eastward through the Pawnee homeland. The Skidi Pawnee, known to French visitors as the Wolf Pawnee, lived along the Loup and its tributaries, combining village agriculture with seasonal bison hunting.
