Personal Narrative: I Am From The Cheyenne Tribe

Tensions started setting in. That dreaded long walk from the parking lot to school felt different this time. From now on I would be leaving my hard hat and work boots at home, and walking past the construction site rather than to it. It was my first nerve-racking day as a student at the University of Regina.

The Choctaw Indians were an important tribe, and the largest of the Muskogean tribes. The Choctaws have two stories about their origins in their traditional homeland in central Mississippi. One is that their ancestors came from west of the Mississippi River and settled in what is now the homeland. The other is that the tribe is descended from ancestors who were formed by a spirit from the damp earth of Nanih Waiyah, a large mound in northeastern Mississippi. Either way, the Choctaws resided in places, holding most of Southern Alabama and Mississippi with adjoining parts of Louisiana.

The Cheyenne women and men had very major roles in the tribe. The women were in charge cleaning their house. A big roll of the cheyenne women was building their home every time the tribe moved. The women would also teach the daughters how to cook, clean, make the houses, and etc. The Cheyenne men were hunter and worries. The men ware responsible for protecting their family and tribe if anything tragedies occurred. The Cheyenne men would go on hunting trips for miny days ,but when the men got back from hunting the women would cook the meat to eat and preserve it for later.

I am a Native American born and raised in Jamestown, Virginia. It was always just my father and I, my mother passed away when I was an infant, so my father raised me to be an independent woman. My father is the head commander of the tribe. He only allowed me to go to the village near our tents. I never went further than the village, till this one day that I was feeling so curious about what was out there, so I decided to walk beyond the village to see what there is to explore.

For the Lakota Indians, stories were passed down through the generations as a way of teaching lessons. Their creation story places an emphasis on maintaining a balance between man and nature. This balance was broken for the Indians when, after violating the Dawes Act, a treaty that gave them full rights to their sacred land, white men pushed them out of their homeland and forced them into a society that they never wanted to be a part of. In doing this, their culture was greatly diminished, along with their hope of a better future. Today, the Lakota Indians face poverty and other challenges that all stem from a time when their rights were violated, peace broken, and stories forgotten.

Cheyenne tribe lived in South Dakota, Colorado, Nebraska and many more places. They were called the great plains warriors. They were dressed in deer and buffalo skin. The women were in charged to make the clothes this, includes the costumes of the ceremony. Serval

“Tell me a fact and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.-Native American proverb” This is a Native American proverb that shows how important storytelling and stories are to the Native Americans and their culture. Storytelling was a big way of teaching their lifestyle to their younger generation. Storytelling is very important to the Native American culture because it helps explain their way of life, faith, and helps teach life lessons to the younger generation.

The Blackfoot People are one of the many Native American Indian tribes that roamed America in the early 1700s. Like many tribes they were nomadic hunters that lived in the Great Plains of Montana and the Canadian provinces of Alberta. The name is said to have come from the colour of the peoples shoes that were made of leather. They had typically dyed or painted the soles of their shoes black.

The Cheyenne tribe were a powerful, resourceful, tribe of the Great Plains. They fought against the Americans when they went to take their land. Within their tribe there were very powerful role model like figures. Some of these leader like figures were Chief Roman Nose and Little Rock. All of the Native American tribes seemed interesting to learn about, but the Cheyenne tribe had a certain charm and dedication to their tribe that none of the of the other tribes seemed to have from the outside looking in.

The Cheyenne was one of the most famous tribes of the Native American Indians. They lived on the Great Plains in what is now South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas. During the 1800’s, the U.S. government forced the Cheyennes to move to Oklahoma. Today, there are two Cheyenne tribes. The Southern Cheyenne live in Oklahoma while the Northern Cheyenne settle in Montana.

The myth of the Navajo Origin Legend was about people of a culture thinking that if they did certain things they would find It helped them. The women of the group washed and cleansed themselves. Rubbed corn meal on them and used different ones for each color of the corn. The gods would appear and bring corn feathers and buckskin. The wind forms the corn into natural human beings. They placed corn over the buckskin and laid it a certain way. The life of the wind turned the corn into humans.

The Navajo nation keeps the skin walker myth alive through artistic work, such as Navajo jewelry and art. These Navajo myths always have a connection to the sacred land of the Four Corners region in the American Southwest. Because it is believed that skin walkers wear the skins of the animals they transform into, it is considered taboo to wear the pelt of any animal. In fact, the Navajo are only known to wear two hides, sheepskin and buckskin, both of which are only used for ceremonial purposes. The Navajo people have a very strong emotional bond with the Earth and the plant and animal kingdoms that are so much a part of their everyday lives.[citation needed] Certain animals are more sacred to some individuals, families and tribes. They believe

I found it interesting that the number of jobs in the work force nearly tripled, but those that were employed only rose by about a hundred people. The unemployment rate also rose to nearly triple what is was as well. It is staggering to see that the average income was under $10,000. Just take a minute to think how little money that is and you aren’t even sure if most people were on the higher or lower side of $10,000. I founded it very interesting that the Crow Creek Reservation was supposed to be a prison camp, but just think how many people it makes a good home for instead. I loved looking at the attractions or various things that were available on your reservation.

Later on with this student, we were out in Wyoming. By then, I had met his wife, and his son. Nice people for sure! The student was driving. I asked him why he would leave such a young, beautiful family at home to come out on the road driving a truck. He said he worked his ass off all his life. He told me that he worked in the engine room of a battleship while in the Navy, and he was tired of working like that. I asked why he thinks driving a semi is a piece of cake. His response was, " how hard can it be sitting there, holding a steering wheel?". My job as his trainer was to teach him everything that I could while he was with me for 10,000 miles. This is what I did! I would call in to dispatch every chance I got, without his knowledge, and

Everything started to change when I was a young boy. My people the Cheyenne, more specifically the Northern Cheyenne people lived happily in Montana until the white man said that we must leave our land and go live on a reservation. Every member of the tribe disagreed with the white man trying to move us off of our land; we did not want to go to what the white man called Oklahoma. I overheard conversations of the older men calling it the” warm land”, and the “place to die”. I remember my father and my father’s father being really sad because we had to leave my father’s mother. She had passed and was buried in the ground, my grandfather said that the white man making him leave her and
