By Platte River, Pahuk Hill, United States, stands strong. In Pawnee folklore, it's one of five holy homes for exotic beings. The Pawnee dwelled near Pahuk in three villages before their move to the Pawnee Reservation on the Loup River in 1859. Known as 'Pahuk' or 'Hill Island' in their language, it's listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In the tale 'A Story of Faith', a doctor was poisoned and recovered at Pahuk. The healers here were said to be supernaturally potent. The doctor, reborn with these powers, settled scores with his poisoner. In 'The Boy who was Sacrificed', a boy was offered to Tirawa and revived by the powerful nahurac from Pahuk.
