Description
"A half-century spent in rubbing shoulders with the Cheyennes... forbids me to think of them except as acquaintances, comrades, and friends. While their culture differs from ours in some respects, fundamentally they are like ourselves, except in so far as their environment has obliged them to adopt a mode of life and of reasoning that is not quite our own, and which, without experience, we do not readily understand." --George Bird Grinnell, Preface to The Cheyenne Indians
The Cheyenne Indians: Their History and Ways of Life--Vol. I (1923) by George Bird Grinnell, describes the life and culture of the Cheyennes, a Native American people originally from what is now Minnesota. Volume I of this two-volume set looks at the tribe's history, its customs, the role of the woman, hunting, games, and amusements.
