Book Title: Doane Robinson's Encyclopedia Of South Dakota

  Arickara Migrations. How long the Arickara Indians lived upon the Missouri
River in central South Dakota is a matter of speculation; but evidently for many
generations. A distinct growth of culture and artistic sense is apparent between
their artifacts buried at the bottom and those nearer the top of their kitchen
dumps. It pre-supposes a very long period of time. There is evidence that they
lived as far south as the mouth of the Platte, in Nebraska, and perhaps further
south and gradually worked their way up the Missouri. They claimed to be the
main stock of the Pawnee people; a contention that finds some support in the
Sioux name for them. They are called by the Sioux, Padani; but the Pawness of
Nebraska are called Scili Padani; that is the Nebraska Pawnee are Pawnee with a
qualification. The rational view is that this branch of the Caddoan people came
up the Missouri and that the Pawnee withdrew to an inland region.
