Books with title The Cheyenne

Like the Teton Sioux, the Cheyenne originally resided in Minnesota but settled in North and South Dakota in the 18th century. They eventually split into two divisions: Northern and Southern that were separated by the Arkansas River. As with many Plains Indians, the Sun Dance, which called for a renewal of the natural world, played an integral role in Cheyenne society.

Once a powerful nation commanding the Great Plains of the United States throughout the nineteenth century, the story of the Cheyenne people is one of challenges and acceptance. The strong and proud Cheyenne have encountered many hardships throughout their history, including dangerous battles, the loss of land, and modern-day economic struggles. Beautiful artwork and eye-catching photography thrust readers into Cheyenne culture and way of life, spanning historical roots to life on the reservation today.
