Thanks to cowboy-and-Indian movies of the 1950s and 1960s, the
Cheyenne are among the best known of all Indian tribes. The
moviegoer can readily picture the fast-moving Cheyenne, mounted on
handsome horses, battling the U.S. Cavalry. While that image is
indeed part of the story, the Cheyenne tribe is about much more
than 19th-century warfare. The Cheyenne have persevered through
strange and difficult times to emerge as one of the best adapted of
all Great Plains peoples. They fought the U.S. Army with
considerable success, but after the eventual defeat, the Cheyenne
changed to a life of cattle herding and Plains farming, with
tractors and harvesters as much a part of their lives as horses and
war bonnets. The Cheyenne covers the storied history of this highly
recognizable tribe, from its origins to its interactions with
Europeans and later the U.S. government, to its place in the United
States today.
