Pawnee Indians were used as slaves in the late 1880's in PDR, Illinois. I saw that in an article about PDR. My grandmother and her twin were part or whole Pawnee. They were adopted by the Louis Pelate family after a hanging of their parents for cattle rustling? Phyllis Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
