Cheyenne  

Définition

  • The word Cheyenne is derived from the Dakota word sha-hi'ye-la, meaning “red talkers” or “people of an alien speech,” and the Cheyenne aboriginally referred to themselves as Tse-tsehese-staestse, or “people.” They speak an Algonquian language; the slight linguistic distinction between the Northern Cheyenne in Montana and their Southern Cheyenne relatives living today in western Oklahoma reflects their separation, which began during the late 1820s. Earlier, there existed two major dialects. [Source: Encyclopedia of Race, Ethnicity, and Society; Cheyenne]
