This is an archive of Cheyenne texts that I have morphologically glossed and translated. All of the texts were recorded by other researchers of Cheyenne; the place where each was originally published is cited in its file. Can't read the files? Download a free .pdf reader or email me.
First person narrative of a woman making moccasins. It contains an example of a conditional, a preverb meaning 'two'/'both', and the reflexive/reciprocal verbal affix -ahte.
