The Cheyenne
The Cheyenne had a long fighting
record with the Kiowa. Then the
1850s came and they had to focus on the US military instead.

The year 1864 brought the Sand Creek
Massacre, an entire Cheyenne village massacred by the US
cavalry.
In 1867, the US government assigned the
Cheyenne to a reservation in Oklahoma.
In 1876, the Cheyenne joined other
tribes in the
Battle of the Little Bighorn, much to George Armstrong
Custer's discomfort.
According to the US Census, the population of the Cheyenne
descendants in 1990 was 11,809.
