Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes

The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes are Native American nations originally from the Great Plains. The Cheyenne historically lived as nomadic buffalo hunters in the central plains, while the Arapaho also relied on hunting and gathered around the Rockies. Today, both tribes are federally recognized and primarily reside in Oklahoma, where they maintain cultural traditions, sovereignty, and tribal governments. They have rich histories, including resilience through forced relocations and treaties, and work to preserve their languages, ceremonies, and heritage for future generations.
