Cheyenne
The Cheyenne are an Algonquian-speaking Indigenous people of the Great Plains, who moved west from the upper Mississippi region and took up a horse-based bison-hunting life in the 18th century. Allied with the Lakota, they fought the United States in the wars of the 1860s and 1870s, including the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. Today they are divided into the Northern Cheyenne of Montana and the Southern Cheyenne of Oklahoma.
