Who Were the Real-Life Pawnee Cavalry Scouts That Inspired the Character of Eli Whipp? The character of Eli Whipp, played by Chaske Spencer, was inspired by real-life Pawnee cavalry scouts. Employed by the United States Army in the latter half of the 19th century, Pawnee Scouts were responsible for aiding in the ongoing conflicts between settlers and the Native Americans in the United States.
The Pawnee cavalry scouts were believed to be "plain Indians," who lived in large dome-shaped earth-covered lodges for the better part of the year, shifting to tepees when going on bison hunts. Pawnee women were skilled in raising corn , squash, and beans. They were also very skilled in pottery making. The Comanches, often referred to as the “Lords of the Plains,” were considered the most violent of all Pawnee tribes in frontier America.
Do the Pawnee Tribes Still Exist? The Pawnee tribes still exist and can be found across the United States as well as in other foreign countries. They are known for their rich culture, fascinating myths, and elaborate religious rites. According to a recent consensus, the number of tribal members is around 3,200.
