In 1780 the Pawnee are thought to have numbered around 10,000, but by the 19th century, epidemics of smallpox and cholera wiped out most of the Pawnee, reducing the population to approximately 600 by the year 1900; as of 2002, there are approximately 2500 Pawnee.

The Pawnee were a spiritual people, placing great significance on Sacred Bundles, which formed the basis of many religious ceremonies maintaining the balance of nature and the relationship with the gods and spirits.

Therefore, the amount of land in East Texas for which the U.S. must compensate the Tribe for trespass damages was reduced from almost 3.5 million in the '96 opinion to 2.85 million in the new opinion.
The Government's failure to protect the Tribe and the trespass of Texas and the settlers were two separate and distinct wrongs against the Tribe.
Because Texas and the settlers violated the federal law stating that no state or individual may interfere with Indian land possession without Congressional approval, their actions did not have the legal effect of extinguishing the Tribe's aboriginal title.
