A series of treaties broken by the United States left them with a reservation in Nebraska they could not defend. About 1875 the Pawnee abandoned their traditional lands entirely, and moved to "Indian Territory", now Oklahoma. Perhaps their corn doesn't grow well there. One controversial (but mostly accepted) view of the history of the United States and the native peoples it displaced is Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West, by Dee Brown.
