Tell you some of Cheyenne Indian traditions?

Cheyenne are a Native American people of the Great Plains, who are of the Algonquian-language family. They decorated their clothing with shells, bear claws, elk teeth, porcupine quills and other things found in nature before they started trading for beads. In Cheyenne culture, women have always been considered nurturers, with nurturing being central to life itself. Female children were taught to gather herbs for cooking and healing, to collect chokecherries, to dig various roots, to sew porcupine quills in circles and points and to sing Cheyenne lullabies to the young children.
