Hisiometaneo

The Hisiometaneo, or Ridge People, were a Cheyenne band of the northern and central Plains. Their name recalls the ridges and hills of their country. They maintained close ties with other Cheyenne communities and with Lakota neighbors, moving across grasslands north of the Platte and later into the hill country farther south. Like other Cheyenne bands, they gathered for common councils and dispersed into smaller camps for hunting and travel.
