The tribe best known to us as the Cheyenne call themselves TsiTsiTas.  They are split into two seperate tribes, the Northern and Southern Cheyenne.  However, they both revere an ancient cultural hero, Sweet Medicine. He appears to be an actual historical figure, time of his prophecies is not known for certain.  He gave at least 8 prophecies at Bear Butte north of present day Rapid city, South Dakota. I've included one of them.  His most important contribution to the TsiTsiTas were the Seven Sacred Arrows which exist to this day...

A prophet rose up among the Tsis Tsis Tas bringing new teachings. Sweet Medicine told of things to come. When the time of hunger came, Sweet Medicine left the people and lived four years in Bear Butte, the Holy Mountain.

Cheyenne Man, Sweet Medicine; "You live the way I have taught you and follow the Sacred Arrows. You must not forget them, for they will give you strength and the ability to take care of yourselves.

There is a time when many things will change. Strangers will appear among you. Their skins are light- colored and they will out number you. Their words will be strange.

The buffalo will disappear and another animal will take its place, a slick haired animal with a long tail and split hoofs (cattle). First there will be another animal you must to use. It has a shaggy neck. It's hoofs are round. This animal will carry you on his back and help you in many ways (horse). So fear him not. Do not forget the Sacred Arrows. I have seen these things and you will see that they are true."

Narrator; And so it was, the Tsis Tsis Tas met the Spanish, the white man, naming him 'vehoe', spider, because his clothes were little woven spider webs. Much later the Cheyenne would learn that the spider was also a trickster, full of deceit. For now, vehoe appeared to be a friend... (Probably ca. 1750)

There was also ' white man speak with fork tongue'. We once roamed the prairees and were proud but now we are slaves to the white man's powder and whisky.
