ix, 342 pages : 24 cm This book provides a history and ethnography of the Cheyenne people from their prehistoric origins north of the Great Lakes to their present life on their reservations in Oklahoma and Montana.

The author provides a detailed account of reservation life and shows how the dance ceremonies and oral traditions have largely survived The Cheyenne's enforced removal from their long-held homelands. He concludes with a critical examination of contemporary Cheyenne life and of the mixed results of the often inept intrusions of State and Federal bureaucracies Includes bibliographical references (pages 331-338) and index Cheyenne origins -- Cheyenne migrations -- Pastoral nomadism -- Trade and politics -- Cheyenne warfare -- Bands and tribal structure -- Literature and values -- Cosmology and ceremonies -- Social interactions -- Early reservation life -- Late reservation life -- Modern times This book provides a history and ethnography of the Cheyenne people from their prehistoric origins north of the Great Lakes to their present
