The only thing I could find so far was a statement by the author Jim Fergus in a 2008 interview about his book, One Thousand White Women. In that interview.

The author indicates his fictional book takes its starting premise from a real proposal, but one that was not accepted or carried out. The report of the interview states, the book "is based on a true event. In 1854 a group of Cheyenne chiefs requested of the white authorities one thousand white women as brides for their young warriors. The peace conference where the Cheyenne made their proposal fell apart, and the women were not actually sent to mate with the Cheyenne, but in my book they do," Fergus said.
