Publisher's Note
This book provides a history and ethnography of the Cheyenne people from their prehistoric origins north of the Great Lakes to their present life on their reservations in Oklahoma and Montana. It is based on archaeological, material, historical and linguistic evidence and draws vividly on the oral traditions of the Cheyenne themselves. The author provides a detailed account of reservation life and shows how the dance ceremonies and oral traditions have largely survived the Cheyenne's enforced removal from their long-held homelands. He concludes with a critical examination of contemporary Cheyenne life and of the mixed results of the often inept intrusions of State and Federal bureaucracies.

Industry Reviews
Moore is author of The Cheyenne Nation, a 'scholarly and somewhat technical book.' It did not include information about Moore's own interactions with the Cheyenne, a subject that he includes in this book. He began fieldwork with the Cheyenne in 1970 and has maintained a close association with them since, continuing scholarly research while also assisting the Cheyenne with certain land and compensation claims. In this new work Moore synthesizes his and others' scholarship, incorporating Cheyenne traditions and beliefs as well as personal experiences. . . . [Moore's] study not only offers an excellent, readable introduction to the Cheyenne, but also provides valuable insights for those already somewhat familiar with Great Plains ethnohistory and the history of the Cheyenne.

John Moore is refreshingly candid about the great debt his book and, indeed, his whole professional career owe to the generosity of individual Cheyenne. In fact, he displays a specific talent for revealing the value of largely non-Indian research, for example on Cheyenne prehistory and early history, and combining it with his own perspective and that of Cheyenne people themselves. Overall, one of the book's great strengths is the way it nicely mixes scholarly exactitude and a sense of the depth of recent research with a tone which is in the main readily accessible to the general reader.
