Cheyenne Language and the Cheyenne Indian Tribe (Tsitsistas, Tsetsehestahese) __
"Cheyenne is an Algonquian language spoken by about 1500 people in
Montana and
central Oklahoma. It is related to Arapaho but has a much more complex
phonology, with vowel devoicing and tones. Some children are still learning
Cheyenne as a native language, but due to the small number of speakers there is
fear that the language may die out if effort is not put into revitalizing it." -

Genocide on the Great Plains __ "On the morning of November 28, 1864, troops
commanded by Colonel John M. Chivington attacked a band of Plains Indians of the
Cheyenne tribe under Chief Black Kettle while the Indian village was camped on
Sand Creek in Colorado Territory. The camp was just outside a reservation
established in 1861 by the treaty of Fort Wise. Two months earlier on September
28, 1864, Black Kettle and White Antelope had met with Colorado Governor John
Evans and Colonel Chivington at Camp Weld near Denver to discuss peace. While no

Fort Lyon, camping along Sand Creek." You can read the whole story here. - By
