1648 CE to 1659 CE

The earliest known written historical record of the Cheyenne comes from the mid-seventeenth century, when a group of Cheyenne visits the French Fort Crevecoeur, near present-day Peoria, Illinois.

The Cheyenne at this time live between the Mississippi River and Mille Lacs Lake in present-day Minnesota.

The Cheyenne economy is based on the collection of wild rice and hunting, especially of bison, which live in the prairies seventy to eighty miles west of the Cheyenne villages.
