Best Answer

At the time of first contact with white people there were around 3,500 Cheyennes (including the related Sutaio). They never came together as one large combined group but remained in small hunting bands until forced onto the reservations.

Today there are around 3,300 Northern Cheyenne in Montana and 8,000 Southern Cheyenne in Oklahoma. Intermarriage with other tribes makes exact counts difficult.

At first contact it is estimated there were around 3,500 combined Cheyenne and Sutaio people.

Recent census returns give about 9,945 Northern Cheyenne and 8,000 Southern Cheyenne, but these figures are far from accurate since the Cheyennes have intermarried with the Arapahos, other native tribal groups and with white Americans.
