The Cheyenne are a Native American tribe originally from the Great Plains, primarily in present-day Montana and Wyoming. Their culture is deeply connected to the land, with a strong emphasis on hunting, particularly the buffalo, which provided food, clothing, and materials for shelter. The Cheyenne are known for their skilled horsemanship and their use of the horse in daily life and warfare. Traditionally, the Cheyenne lived in tipis, which were portable and well-suited for their nomadic lifestyle. Their social structure is organized into bands, each with its own leaders and customs. The Cheyenne also have rich spiritual beliefs, often centered around nature and the importance of community, reflected in their ceremonies and storytelling traditions.
