What weapons did Cheyenne use?
Cheyenne weapons were much the same as for all Plains tribes. The main weapon was always the bow and arrows, the bow being about 45 to 52 inches long if made of wood (ash or hickory) and about 33 inches if made of sheep horn and sinew. Arrows were 25 to 28 inches and often painted with rings around the feathered end; feathers were of hawk, eagle or turkey. By the mid-19th century all Cheyenne arrow points were of metal obtained from white traders.
Some trade axes ("tomahawks") were used, plus war clubs with stone heads or shaped like a gunstock inset with metal knife blades (knives were also a common trade item).
Cheyenne warriors also obtained guns from trading posts, sometimes old and poorly-made flintlock and percussion weapons, but sometimes up-to-date repeaters such as the Henry rifle. They also obtained percussion pistols such as the Navy Colt, but preferred their own native weapons.
Lances were generally the emblem of a particular warrior society such as the Dog Soldiers.

What kind of clothes did cheyenne Indians wear?
Originally, Cheyenne men wore only a breechclout of deer or antelope skin tanned very soft, with long flaps front and back. Leggings typically had a triangular flap on the outside of the leg, long enough to touch the ground and loose enough to flap noisily as the man walked along. The inside of these flaps could be painted bright red or orange, although the Cheyenne generally favoured the colours green and yellow.
Men did not originally wear shirts, but later copied them from other Plains tribes and used mountain sheep or deer hides, with a long triangle added at the neck. Shirts were often painted yellow with the fringed edges painted green.
Women wore different styles of buckskin dress as fashions changed, often with a leather belt at the waist. These dresses reached to mid-calf and were heavily fringed, with horizontal rows of elk teeth, shells or beads.
Moccasins had hard leather soles and were made with or without ankle flaps according to the season. Quill, bead and tin cone tinklers were used for decoration. Cheyenne moccasins typically had two short tails of leather at the heel, made of deerskin strips or buffalo tail. Cheyenne women often sewed their short leggings to their moccasins, making them look like boots.
For warmth, robes of buffalo hides or elk hide were worn as wraps; later trade blankets were used instead.
Entirely different dress was worn by warriors taking part in the Sun Dance ritual; a long kilt or skirt from waist to ankles, wreaths of sage on the head and around the arms and special face and body paint (for example, members of the Kit Fox warrior society painted themselves entirely yellow), with eagle bone whistles and cut-out shapes of rawhide hung around their necks.
How did tribal members get an education?
If you are asking about Native American children the government built schools and removed the children from their tribe and families into a boarding school. They were not allowed to speak their native language, do cultural things, or dress as they would in the tribe. Boys braids were cut and they were made to wear suits. The girls were allowed to keep longer hair, but were put into dresses. For the boys the cutting of their hair was a traumatic experience. Usually, their hair didn't get cut until a parent died so many of them thought that a parent was dead. The children stayed in the schools until 18 years old, but by that time they didn't know the ways of their people nor the language and they weren't accepted by white society. They were in a "no man's land." Some committed suicide as a result.
Did the plain Indians ride buffalo?
no the plain Indians (mens) only hunted the buffalos for food, clothing, fuel, etc.
What are the Cheyenne beliefs?
Like other native American cultures, the pre-European Cheyenne celebrated an Earth religion. Very simply put there is Mother Earth, Father Sky, the four spirits of the compass and animals/plants which are expressions of spirit-beings. Today there is a variety of religious beliefs among the people including Christianity (especially Catholic and Mennonite) and the American Indian church.
What was the role of the cheyenne Indian women?
After the meal, announcements were made by the old crier who circled the people on his horse. When he was finished, the people went about their daily activities. The children would scatter about the area to swim, run, and model images out of clay. The women of the camp had many activities to keep them busy. They would go off in groups to gather wood and roots early in the day. This was their time for joking and laughing. They gathered sticks from the ground and broke dead branches off the trees in the forest. The wood was divided up, formed into bundles, and strapped on their backs. They then set out for camp. The older men made bows, arrows and pipes, while the young men spent time enhancing their personal appearance or listening to wise men.
Many men hunted game to provide the camp with food.

Cheyenne women were in charge of the home. Besides cooking and cleaning, a Cheyenne woman built her family's house and dragged the heavy posts with her whenever the tribe moved. Houses belonged to the women in the Cheyenne tribe. Men were hunters and warriors, responsible for feeding and defending their families. Only men became Cheyenne chiefs, but both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine.

What type of government did the Cheyenne Indians have?
The Cheyenne tribal leadership was, like that of most native tribes, much more complex than people today think. Most people believe that each tribe was headed by a single supreme chief who behaved and was treated like a king - this is completely false.
The Cheyenne tribe was (unusually among Plains tribes) a politically unified nation. At its head was the "Keeper of the Sacred Arrows" who would have to be replaced from time to time, then a council of 44 chiefs, 4 from each of the 10 Cheyenne bands plus 4 advisers. Below these were the chiefs of the warrior societies such as the Dog Soldiers, the Bowstrings, the Fox society and the (Red) Shield society.
The warrior society leaders were entirely responsible for discipline within the tribe (acting as a kind of police force), for controlling hunts, supervising ceremonies and for military decisions and leadership in war.
So, although the "Keeper of the Sacred Arrows" is at the top of this hierarchy and he might be considered a "head chief" by visiting (ignorant) white men, he actually held very little power or authority, but a great deal of responsibility.
White Americans talk about "chiefs" as if they were all of the same rank, but clearly they were not.
Some notable chiefs of the Cheyenne are:
How do you say the word buffalo in cheyenne language?
In Cheyenne the idea of "home" is expressed with -venovo-, a "bound" form that must always be joined to other words:
ma-venovo = the home
na-venovo = my home
he=venovo = his home
How many Cheyenne tribes are remaining today?
they have a good number of them up in montana they dont have and exsacted nuber though
How do you say praying wolf in cheyenne language?
A Cheyenne speaker would not say that, since he or she would know that wolves are wild animals and (like the sky or the clouds) do not belong to anyone. The Cheyenne word for a wolf is ho'nehe; the theoretical term *ho'nehe na-a'eno means "the-wolf-it-belongs-to-me".

Where did the Cheyenne Indians live?
The Cheyenne were divided into two primary tribes; the Northern Cheyenne, who centered around Wyoming and Montana, and the Southern Cheyenne, who ranged closer to Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
Slavery does exist today, in many countries in Africa and Asia. Most of it doesn't look like the plantation slavery of the antebellum South in America, though some of that does exist, especially on cocoa plantations in Africa. Slavery today often consists of women or children sold into slavery as domestic servants or for prostitution.
Slavery occurs in many modern developed countries, as well as third world countries. It's mostly known as human trafficking. The United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Thailand. Russia, Poland, China, France. are big contributors to this distributing crime.
it does not happen in america but in other countries, they still have it because it is free work
Slavery is growing and is still larger than it is ever was during the transatlantic slavery period. USA was responsible for massively endorsing one of the biggest attrocities in modern history. This was based solely on race, and while other countries played their part, America was one of the last world powers to criminalise it. USA does seem to forget they were largely responsible for the most racist travisty in history. Around 12 million slaves died in america alone (twice as many as jews murdered in WW2). Even though USA is ranked low on the global slavery index it is still present. No country is exempt from slavery. It is a massive global issue and one that the USA and american businesses still encourage by not insisting on slave labour in the production of purchased materials and goods. It is thought that 27 million people are currently enslaved globally and as to why, it is a method of free labour and exploitation for monetary gain.
What is the writing of the inuit tribe?
Until the late 1700's most Inuit tribes did not have a written history or language. The syllabary of the Inuit is based on the Cree syllabary devised by missionaries. Written language now is written in several different ways, depending on the dialect and region, but also on historical and political factors.
How do you say dog soldier in cheyenne language?
You do not specify which native American language, but Dog Men (incorrectly called Dog Soldiers by white Americans) were only present in a few of the Plains tribes, limiting the possible answers.
Among the Cheyenne, the word for dog was hotame[ho-ta-may]. Members of the Dog Men Warrior Society were called Hotame-taneo'o, literally Dog Men.
Among the Kiowa, all warrior societies were traditionally termed "Dog Warriors" because all members had to have dreamed of dogs; the Koitsenko Society were "Real Dogs".
Among the Crows, a warrior no longer interested in living became micgye-wara'xe-akcewi'a, a Crazy Dog Wishing to Die. He behaved strangely, wore long sashes and carried a rattle; in battle he deliberately charged into the most dangerous part of the fight, inviting his own death.
In modern times, as a result of certain fictional Hollywood movies and the ignorance of many white people, all native American warrior societies have been called "Dog Soldiers". This is completely wrong.
