The beginnings, history, culture, and artwork about the Cheyenne River tribe. Our story beings with peace toward each other.

The feathers provide a soft ladder for the good dream to glide down and gently enter into the dreamer’s mind. A single bead often represents the spider that made the web, and many beads represent good dreams that were trapped during the night and given to the…

Water Imagery and Symbolism in Love Medicine Louise Erdrich’s novel Love Medicine conveys the state of Native American life in today’s society.
