While their culture differs from ours in some respects, fundamentally they are like ourselves, except in so far as their environment has obliged them to adopt a mode of life and of reasoning that is not quite our own, and which, without experience, we do not readily understand." --George Bird Grinnell, Preface to The Cheyenne Indians The Cheyenne Indians: Their History and Ways of Life--Vol. II (1923) by George Bird Grinnell, describes the life and culture of the Cheyennes, a Native American people originally from what is now Minnesota. Volume II of this two-volume set looks at the Cheyennes' practice of waging wars, their religious beliefs, and healing practices.
