Peace Chiefs of the Cheyenne Paperback - 1980

by Stan Edward Hoig; Foreword by Boyce D. Timmons


From the publisher

"Hoig discusses a significant, and generally unknown, element of Cheyenne culture-the peace chiefs. Traditionally renowned for ferocity, fearlessness, and warlike tendencies, the Cheyenne also possessed a moralistic mentality in the Judeo-Christian vein which encouraged, among other things, strong family relations, a spirit of generosity, and provision for the needy. Peacekeeping was an integral part of this mentality....He provides valuable insights into this facet of Indian culture." Library Journal. "This is an informative and absorbing study of the Cheyenne chiefs as they tried to preserve the cultural and tribal integrity of their people....The writing style is direct and clear. Illustrations and photographs depict many of the chiefs and are a very useful complement to the text. Students of Western history should enjoy this book which will instruct readers as to why the Cheyennes commanded the respect of their friends and foes, red and white." Arizona and the West.

First line

The warm southerly winds and longer days had melted the last patches of winter's snow into the land and sucked up green shoots of grass and wild flowers to color the prairie.

US: University of Oklahoma Press, 1990. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. A Plains tribe that subsisted on the buffalo, the Cheyennes depended for su rvival on the valor and skill of their braves in the hunt and in battle. Th e fiery spirit of the young warriors was balanced by the calm wisdom of the tribal headmen, the peace chiefs, who met yearly as the Council of the For ty-four. "A Cheyenne chief was required to be a man of peace, to be brave, and to be of generous heart," writes Stan Hoig. "Of these qualities the fir st was unconditionally the most important, for upon it rested the moral res traint required for the warlike Cheyenne Nation." As the Cheyennes began to feel the westward crush of white civilization in the nineteenth century, a great burden fell to the peace chiefs. Reconcilia tion with the whites was the tribe's only hope for survival, and the chiefs were the… Read More
