LIVEThe Cheyenne Indians were

far-ranging people, especially once they

acquired horses. By the time the Americans met them they were living on the Great Plains in what is

now South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska,

Colorado, and Kansas. The US government forced the

Cheyenne's to move to Oklahoma during the

1800's, but some escaped and fled north into Montana.

Today there are two Cheyenne tribes, one in

Oklahoma and the other in Montana.

Cheyenne lived in wigwams made out of birch-bark and dirt. After they became nomads, meaning

that they never lived in one place for a long time but kept moving

instead, they lived in tepees, which were easy to break down and rebuild. Cheyenne teepees

were made out of animal hide and had a hole in the top to release

smoke.

SHELTER

CULTUREThe Cheyenne people were driven from Minnesota to North Dakota by the Sioux.

Then General George Custer tried to move them to a reservation because

white people discovered gold. They tried to move the Sioux and Arapaho too. The

Arapaho went to the reservation because they couldn't beat Custer so the Cheyenne and the Sioux defeated Custer

in the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1877.

FAMILY LIFEThe Cheyenne had an

average of two to three children and a mother and

father in one teepee or earth lodge. Once one of the

children got married, they would move out and get supplies from relatives to make their own home or

earth lodge.

PEOPLEThe Cheyenne people were

hunters, gatherers, and farmers.  They moved from the Northern Great Lakes

area to Minnesota Territory and settled there. Then they were driven to North Dakota by the Sioux and had many

battles with them.     General George Custer

tried to move the Cheyenne, Sioux, and Arapaho but

none of the Native Americas moved. Finally the Arapaho

gave up and moved to a reservation but the

Cheyenne and the Sioux stayed because the land was given to them by the

government. Custer and his 300 troops died in a battle called the Battle of Little

Bighorn fought by the Cheyenne and the Sioux.
