Cheyenne (Nation)
Cheyenne
1851 AD
One of the indigenous people of the Great Plains of the USA whose language is of the Algonquian language family.
The Cheyenne comprise two Native American tribes,
- Só'taeo'o or Só'taétaneo'o (more commonly spelled as Suhtai or Sutaio)
- Tsétsêhéstâhese (also spelled Tsitsistas, [t͡sɪt͡shɪsthɑs][3]).
These tribes merged in the early 19th century. Today, the Cheyenne people are split into two federally recognized Nations:
- Southern Cheyenne, who are enrolled in the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma,
- Northern Cheyenne, who are enrolled in the Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Montana.
