CHEYENNE (Sioux for " of alien speech ")

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 116 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHEYENNE (Sioux for " of alien speech ") , a tribe of North American Indians of Algonquian stock. They formerly lived on the
Cheyenne
  river, North Dakota. Driven west by the Dakotas, they were found by early explorers at the eastern base of the Black Hills,
South
  Dakota.
Part
  of them later moved
south
  and allied themselves with the Arapahoes. Their whole history has been one of war with their red and
white
  neighbours. They are a powerful athletic race, mentally superior to the
average
  American Indian. They are divided into eleven subdivisions and
formerly had a
council
  of chiefs. They number some 3000, and are divided into northern and southern Cheyennes; the former being on a reservation in Montana, the latter in Oklahoma. In 1878-79 a band of the former revolted, and some seventy-five of them were killed.
See Handbook of American Indians (Washington, 1907) ; also INDIANS, NORTH AMERICAN.
