  • The Northern Cheyenne were once part of the Cheyenne Tribe. The tribe lived predominantly in what is now Minnesota, later migrating to the Dakota territory. They were a hard-working, nomadic people with a deep knowledge of and appreciation for the land. Clothing, shelter, bags and equipment were made from buffalo and other animals they hunted. Plants and leaves were gathered and used for food and medicines.
  • The drum is one of the most important things to the Native American culture, because the culture centers around the drum. The drum is the heartbeat of the Earth Mother, and drumming brings everyone back into balance. Through dancing, singing and listening the people around the drum can connect with spirits.
