The Cheyenne people (/ʃaɪˈæn/ shy-AN) are one of the groups of indigenous people of the Great Plains and are considered to be part of the Algonquian language–speaking people. The Cheyenne are made up of two Native American ethnic groups the Só’taeo’o (more commonly spelled as Suhtai or Sutaio) and the Tsétsêhéstâhese (also spelled Tsitsistas). These tribes merged in the early 19th century.
