(Pawnee, Okla.- March 28, 2022) –Thursday evening, Pawnee Nation government welcomed a new era of community support with local city government. The historic meeting was the first of many and was hosted by Pawnee Nation and included formal meeting rules, a quorum for three councils, opening prayer, and a catered traditional meal. The three councils represented included, the Pawnee Nation Business Council (PBC), Rêsâru’karu (Chiefs) Council, and the City of Pawnee.
