Cheyenne.—One of the most important of the Algonquian
tribes of the plains. Their earliest known habi-
tat was in western Minnesota. From there they
moved west to the Black Hills in South Dakota in the
eighteenth century or earher, and thence gradually
fartiher west and south. About 1835 the tribe divided
into two portions, the one remaining in Wyoming and
vicinity, the other moving south to southern Colorado
and the adjacent portions of Kansas and Oklahoma.
Since the early eighties the Northern Cheyenne have
been on the Tongue River Reservation in Montana.
The Southern Cheyenne have for 40 years or more been
located on the Arapaho and Cheyenne Reservation in
Oklahoma.
The number enumerated in 1910 was 3,055, of which
1,522 were in Oklahoma and 1,346 in Montana. The
reports of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs furnish
comparative figures back to 1880. In 1875 the whole
tribe was estimated at over 4,000.
