In 1882, the Union Pacific built an opera house, and famous singers including Emma Nevada and Lily Langtry performed there. In the late nineteenth century, the Northern Cheyenne created an art museum. In modern times, all six of these societies still exist, and many of these communities have preserved their artifacts. However, today&#8217;s Cheyenne culture has changed considerably since that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the Cheyenne continue to practice traditional ways, though Christian missionary activity is also ongoing. They still worship Sacred Arrows, and they are among the most sacred objects in the tribe. Despite the influence of the Christian missionaries, they still maintain their ancient ways. In addition to their spiritual beliefs, the Cheyenne have retained their ancestry and customs. The town of Casper is also a popular place to visit, with many historic sites of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hikers should consider a trip to Cheyenne if they are in the area. The seven-bridge trail crosses the North Cheyenne Creek several times, and meanders past tumbling creek waterfalls. The Seven Bridges trail can be combined with the Mt. Buckhorn and Section 16 trails, resulting in a longer hike. During the summer, the city has many open spaces, so it is a good idea to explore these places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trail ascends a ridge. It then swings west and begins its climb up a ridge. As it approaches a large rock pinnacle, the trail continues to switchback between rock outcroppings. Soon, the landscape will open up into a wide grassy meadow. The landscape is a far cry from the mountains of town. You&#8217;ll also encounter scattered metal from a crashed T-33 training plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cheyenne were a group of Native Americans from the region around the Yellowstone River. They ruled over 500,000 square miles across eight states and were historically known as So&#8217;taeo&#8217;o. Originally, the Tsetsehestano was composed of ten bands that spread across the Great Plains. They were a fierce and feared tribe that had fought with the United States Army and the Crow. In the early nineteenth century, they were pushed out by the Lakota and began to reclaim their land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name &#8220;Cheyenne&#8221; may be derived from the Lakota Sioux-Cheyenne word for them, Sahiyena. Although Sahiya has no direct meaning in the Cheyenne language, the word &#8220;Sahiyena&#8221; is similar to the word &#8220;Sahiyeneo&#8217;o&#8221; in the Lakota language. In the same way, the Cheyenne have a similar name for Ojibwe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cheyenne were originally from the Great Lakes area of Minnesota and moved westward when other tribes took over the land. In the 1800s, they settled in northern Wyoming and South Dakota. At the same time, they were forced to live in the Black Hills in South Dakota and Wyoming. The tribe split after the Civil War and was eventually forced to settle in Oklahoma on reservations. In the 1960s, the Southern Cheyenne migrated to the Colorado river and lived there for decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the early 1800s, the railroad brought the best shows to Cheyenne, including the opera.
