Great Britain played an important role in the conflict between the United States and American Indians on the western frontier. They had a strong presence in the region and sought to maintain their power and influence in North America. In the late 1700s Great Britain signed several treaties with some of the Native American tribes such as the Iroquois and Delaware Nations in which they promised to protect these communities from US expansion. As the US continued to establish new settlements often in violation of these treaties Great Britain sought to mediate the conflict and protect their Native allies. In some cases British soldiers were dispatched to the western frontier to protect Native American lands and support their sovereignty.
Great Britain also provided support to the Native Americans in other ways. They supplied weapons ammunition and other supplies to the tribes and provided them with access to the British trading networks. In addition the British Crown offered refuge to some of the Native American leaders such as the Shawnee chief Tecumseh and provided a safe haven for them to organize and plan their resistance to US expansion.

What did the cheyenne tribe do with there hair?
Asked by Wiki User
If you mean "what hairstyles did the Cheyenne have?", the answer is that hairstyles changed over time.
Women at first wore their hair braided with fringed rolls of deerskin attached; later the braids were folded up two or three times and tied behind the head. About 1830 women began to wear a braid each side, doubled up and fastened behind the ear. At all times some women chose to wear their hair long and loose (headbands were never a feature of Cheyenne women's hairstyles, until modern times when they began to fall in with the White American "Indian princess" fantasy).
Men had typically worn a roach (a red-dyed deer hair ornament attached to the head with a bone "roach spreader"); early on they had no scalplock. Then came the pompadour, a fashion for brushing up the frontal hair and smearing it with clay so it stood erect, or tied back with a leather strap, often with strings of shells at each side of the face and the back hair braided. Sometimes one side of the head was shaved, the long hair on the other side being braided. These braids were usually wrapped with otter fur.
A distinctive style of some Cheyenne warriors was to grow the frontal hair in a long fringe which would be stiffened, brushed up and allowed to fall to one side like a fan, the remaining hair being braided.

What animals did the Cheyenne inaidiains huht?
Asked by Wiki User
Horses (Cheyenne mo'ehe-no'ha or domesticated elk) and dogs (hotame or hotameho) were the main animals kept by all Plains tribes. After contact with white people they sometimes used donkeys and mules (vo'ho'kohta and a'kee-vo'ha) but these would be rare.

What was the Cheyenne's home like?
Asked by Wiki User
The Cheyenne (really two tribes: the Tsetsehesestahase and the So'taa'e) used only tipi-style lodges, called xamaa-vee'e or ordinary dwellings in Cheyenne.
Cheyenne tipis were rarely decorated, except for those of leaders and medicine men; a common style had the upper portion painted in a solid colour such as red, sometimes with figures of horses, warriors, hunters and buffalo running around the entire cover. Sometimes stripes were used, often just on one half of the cover.
