Dances with Wolves

[Anthony Grant]

Folks:

As far as I could tell, based on my reading of the works of Douglas R
Parks, James R Murie, Gene Weltfish and Ferdinand Hayden.at least some
of  the Pawnees in the film were speaking Pawnee. I recall earing
something like /tawit/ 'three' and also a large number of words ending
in /-ks/. I think I heard /tsahriks/ 'person' in there somewhere, but I
may be mistaken.  Plus the phonology of the language was NOTHING like
that either of Lakhota or Cherokee.
