A Cheyenne 2-sided buffalo-hide, wood frame drum from the early 20^th century.   In the center of both sides is a red sun motif with red pigment painted on the edges.  Surrounding the sun are painted 16 half white and half black diamond shapes. The Cheyenne, or, more properly, the Tsétsêhéstaestse, spoke an Algonquian language and inhabited the regions around the Platte and Arkansas rivers during the 19th century.  There they farmed, hunted, gathered wild rice, and made pottery. They later occupied a village of earth lodges on the Cheyenne River in North Dakota; it was probably during this period that they acquired horses and became more dependent on the buffalo for food.

Today, the Cheyenne people are split into two federally recognized nations: the Southern Cheyenne, who are enrolled in the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma, and the Northern Cheyenne, who are enrolled in the Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Montana.
