Mission Statement: " To promote and preserve our Pawnee Culture through our language, songs, ceremonies, and our oral and written history."

In 2016, the Pawnee Nation created its Cultural Resource Division (CRD). The CRD Division houses our Language Program, our Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO), our Native American Graves Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), and our Pawnee Nation Museum, located in downtown Pawnee at 657 Harrison Street, Pawnee, Oklahoma 74058. CRD has a Cultural Committee that meets monthly, and they act as advisors for CRD. We also have a Museum Board which meets quarterly.

Some of the events and activities we have include our weekly community language classes, weekly community culture classes. We sponsor the making of Pawnee clothing and craft items, singing classes, handgames, our Pawnee/Arikara Reunion, Chief Day, Full Blood Day, and assist with our annual homecoming and annual dances and ceremonies.

Please feel free to call our office to assist with any cultural questions you may have.
