Another tribe, the Souix, developed the name of "people of a different language" for the Cheyenne. Some people said that the Cheyenne did not exist until the mid-1600s or at least this is when the earliest known records were found. They are one of the most famous and prominent Plains tribes, too. At first, this tribe moved from the

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 Cheyenne had an interesting culture and way of life.

The Sand Creek Massacre involved many native tribes, including the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Sioux, Kiowa, and Comanche. Among many of these tribes were the targeted, Black Kettle and White Antelope leaders of the Cheyenne. Left Hand and Little Raven were the Arapaho chiefs. “The Cheyenne and the Arapaho were the tribes that were mainly affected in this massacre.” (Hoig 15) There were many people and settlers

The four tribes were: the Comanches, the Kiowas, the Southern Cheyennes and the Arapahos. To this day all Indian tribes are on reservations. The battle can be broken down into 5 subtopics: who, what, when, where, and why. In the year 1874-75, a battle broke out between the U.S and four Indian tribes.

This poses a threat to many tribes, including the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, for their concern of the environmental impacts, possible water contamination, and the destruction of sacred burial grounds.

At the turn of the new century, the two tribes migrated once again to the Arkansas River where the Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne Indians were settled. This new found home possessed mild weather, sufficient grazing and was full of bison and feral horse herds. As a result, the Kiowa tribe was adapted and became skilled at hunting bison and riding horseback. The Kiowa were known for capturing mustangs in the Staked Plains

As the interactions between indigenous peoples and colonizing nations continued, a complex history was woven, setting the scene for a complicated present in which the Native American tribe is not a state, nor an equal sovereign nation, but something else. The numerous court cases, treaties, and laws over the years have created an entity which resides outside the simple federalist structure of the United States of America and is yet irreversibly

If the government was trying to confine a tribe and culture after already being established in a community for over a thousand years; to what measure should the community react? Colorado’s first group of Indians to claim land was in fact the Utes. This tribe was the establishment of Native American culture and has existed in Colorado for centuries prior to other Native American tribes.
