The Pawnee were often at war with other tribes. The Cheyenne and Sioux were their main enemies. They planned surprise attacks, called raids. Also, seven months a year they went out to hunt buffalo. The sick, old, and very young were left behind. Because this was a major weakness for the Pawnee, the Cheyenne and Sioux attacked them.
