  1. Cheyenne Tribe By: Nathan Nauta

  2. Live The 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.

  3. Shelter 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.

  4. Culture The 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.

  5. Family Life The 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.

  6. People The 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.
