Situated on the Loupe Fork of the Platte River, about 100 miles west
of Omaha. It was divided into two parts, the Skeedees occupying one
part by themselves, and the other three bands jointly in the other.
The entire village accommodated about 2,500 people. Each lodge was
capable of holding several families; they were formed by erecting
several stout posts in a circle, forked at the top, into which cross
beams were laid, and against these long poles were inclined from the
outside toward the centre; all was then covered with brush, and
finally with earth, leaving a hole at the apex for the escape of
smoke, and a long tunnel-like entrance at the base. This village is
now (1876) entirely destroyed, and the Indians removed to the Indian
Territory.
