The Skidi or Skiri, also known as the Wolf Pawnee or the French Loup Pawnee are a band of Pawnee people. According to tradition in earlier times the Skidi were associated with the Arikara before the Arikara moved northward. The Skidi language was less related to the other Pawnee languages than the other three tribes languages were related to each other. In historic times the Skidi first lived on the Loup River in Nebraska.
The Skidi's main habitations were along the Platte River and some early explorers referred to this waterway as the Panimaha River, since this was before some Skidi migrated south and that name came to be associated with a different group.
By the 1770s a group of the Skidi had broken off and moved towards Texas, where they allied with the Taovayas, the Tonkawa, Yojuanes and other Texas tribes. This group was referred to as the Panimaha.
Today Skidi Pawnee are enrolled in the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma.
