The Cheyenne Indians hunted dear, grew crops including beans, corn, pumpkins, and squash. When they moved out to the plains they got horses and started chasing buffalo. And when they stopped farming they started trading for fish, tobacco, and fruit. The Cheyenne lived in wigwams made of birch and dirt. After they became nomads meaning they moved a lot they lived in teepees that were easy to destroy and rebuild.
The woman of the Cheyenne Indians wore deer dresses while the men wore leather leggings and breech cloths.

The Cheyenne speak English today but elders and older Cheyenne spoke and speak Cheyenne a musical language. The language was full of mostly vowels and very long words. The Cheyenne believed in many gods some examples of these gods are Ahone, BlueJay, OldManCayote, and Okee. Site to all gods http://www.native-languages.org/gods.htm The Cheyenne artists made quill embroidery, native beading, pipe stone carving, and pottery. The Cheyenne told stories about the gods and what they did for the Cheyenne. The Cheyenne were mostly friendly to the settlers, even with trading with them. When the gold rush hit though the Cheyenne did not like the new settlers coming in. The settlers did not know much about the Cheyenne and upset the tribe very much.
The Cheyenne Indians traded bison hides, for pots, knives, and fabrics. They traded the white men for many goods including guns and firearms and they also traded with the Shoshoni before the war. They got the hides from killing the bison.

The Sioux grew crops and many crops including corn, squash, and beans. They killed buffalo, the youngest ones to kill a buffalo would be 10 years old. The Sioux also consumed jerky. The women distributed the jerky by drying out buffalo meat producing it. First they pounded the meat into powder and then they added animal fat and let it mix. After they got and made the food they traded it with the white men and other tribes.

The Native Americans have lived in the black Hills since 7000B.C. Once the Cheyenne came in and took over the black Hills the Europeans found that the land had gold and wanted it. About 1875-1878 the gold rush hit the Black Hills and thousands of miners came over. After the loss to the Us the Cheyenne decided to give the US the land. On July 23, 1980 the USA finally bot the land for 106 million dollars. But when the Cheyenne and Lakota refused for the offer as they wanted the Black Hills for themselves. in the end 757 million dollars was paid to the Lakota but they still didn't take the offer.

While the men hunted and worked the women did tanning and cleaned hides for shelter and clothes. The woman also grew berries and other plants used to survive. The lives of an Cheyenne woman was very active they had to do all of the stuff with the game that came home with the hunters. A woman has a higher reputation if they have a big family or famous ancestors. It is thought that the woman were hard working, modest, and skilled with arts.

The Cheyenne Indian warriors used bows and arrows, war clubs, spears, and shields. The woman at home would use a hammer to mash the corn and spices together. The war clubs were a simple rock tied to a stick. The spears were made out of flint tied to the end of a sticks. The bows and arrows were used by most of the Indians and that is why you think of it when your thinking of Indian weapons. The bows were made with a flex+ible stick and bison tendon.

After being pushed out of there home the Cheyenne Indians were forced to move down south. They then started to make it their own and developed. They made their own people called the Arapaho. They stretched as far as Montana to Arkansas. As early as 1820 people have been seeing the Cheyenne to this modern day.

This fluences the place we live in today because if the Cheyenne were not forced out of their home they might have all of where we live today.
Wyoming is made of regions of mountain range. Including The Big Horns, Yellowstone N.P., The Great Tetons, Ext. Wyoming's wood is being chopped down in most of these forests for housing and many other things. Since I live in Wyoming (opion time) I think we should stop chopping these trees and stop building so many coal plants ( as it will put more Co2 in the air).

I used many websites to find this info. One of my main things to say is that you don't trust everything on the internet because you never know what to get. I used a computer to make my website but there is a mobile version of this Website Builder. I highly recomend using these sites up top because they are reliable and are full of many facts.
I know that all of these websites are reliable sources because my teacher said Wikipedia is a good source. I know the rest of the sources are reliable because they state the Cheyenne Indians and what they did, tools, how they lived, and what had happened to them. For example Big Orrin stated many of the topics and when I looked for the same thing on a different site I found the same thing or similar to what the website said. Most of the other ones that had native Americans in the name talked about all of them so the people who made it must have researched a lot. That is how I got my sites and why I relied on them.
