Animal Friend: Eagle Introduced in: Native Lights Stable Code

Appearance
Cheyenne is a brown horse with white boots. She has a black tail and mane, and wears a decorative traditional saddle.

Tribe
The tribe this steed is based on are located in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Colorado. Cheyenne comes from a Sioux word that means “people who speak a strange language.” Originally the Cheyenne were farmers and potters who built permanent villages in the timber country of Minnesota. They moved west and became buffalo hunters by the start of the 19th Century. Within a few decades they had become one of the great tribes of the plains. In the plains, they split into two groups, the Northern Cheyenne and the Southern Cheyenne. The Cheyenne were subjected to extreme cruelty throughout the second half of the 19th Century by U.S. troops. Today, the northern Cheyenne have a tribal headquarters in Lame Deer, Montana. The Southern Cheyenne have an office in Concho, Oklahoma.
