Sara
Many years ago, Bella and Sara traveled across the Auroborus to Earth and met The People of North America. When Sara returned to North of North, Pawnee was the first horse to receive a name based off of the tribes. Their markings reminded Sara of the Pawnee tribe's stories of armadillos, and so the name Pawnee was chosen.

Armadillo
When Sara gave Pawnee their special name, a family of armadillo appeared by the horse's side as their animal guide.

The Name Game
The tribe this steed is based on are located near Northern Oklahoma. They call themselves Chahiksichahiks, meaning “Men of Men.”

The Pawnee lived in permanent dwellings of sticks, reeds and brush covered with earth called lodges. The Pawnee were monotheists, believing in one creator of all things. Pawnee warriors were known for endurance, courage, loyalty and respect for authority. The Pawnee practiced the Ghost Dance after that religion was introduced to them, in an effort to contact the spirits of deceased medicine men in order to recreate rituals that had been lost.

During the Indian Wars the Pawnee were employed as scouts by the U.S. They had frequently warred against the Sioux, and this history of conflict was exploited. The animosity between the Sioux and the Pawnee was dramatized in the movie Dancing With Wolves. Many contemporary Pawnee objected to the film’s characterization of their ancestors as being hostile and cruel.
