The Cheyenne tribe is a Native American group originally from the Great Plains, primarily in present-day Montana and Wyoming. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, including traditional practices such as buffalo hunting and intricate beadwork. The Cheyenne people historically lived in tipis and were organized into two main divisions: the Northern Cheyenne and the Southern Cheyenne. The Cheyenne tribe played a significant role in the history of the American West, particularly during the 19th century. They were involved in various conflicts, including the Indian Wars, as they resisted encroachment on their lands. Today, the Cheyenne continue to preserve their traditions while also engaging in modern society.
