Who made the first encounter with the Cheyenne Indians?

Answer 1

The first recorded encounter between European Americans and the Cheyenne Indians occurred in the mid-18th century, primarily involving French traders and explorers. Notably, the Cheyenne were first documented by Europeans around 1740 when French fur traders began to establish relationships with various Native American tribes in the Great Plains region. This contact marked the beginning of interactions that would lead to significant cultural and economic exchanges, as well as conflicts, between the Cheyenne and European settlers.
