A discussion of the history, culture, and contemporary life of the Cheyenne Indians. Native American Peoples explores the cultures of some of the earliest residents of North America. With direct, lively text covering each Native group's past and present, these books include each tribe's own origin stories and descriptions of its traditional way of life, its relationships with other tribes and with European settlers and explorers, its history through modern times, and life today, including the arts. In addition to the easy-to-understand text and vibrant historical and contemporary images, such helpful features as a time line, glossary, and suggested activities illuminate the cultures of the original Americans and their lives today. The Cheyennes were originally a woodland people. Today, the tribe is divided between the Northern Cheyennes and the Southern Cheyennes, both actively governing themselves, protecting their land, passing on their culture and religion.
