Maitonomi'ohe

Maitomoni’ohe is a name recorded for the Sheyenne River, a long tributary of the Red River of the North. It rises on the plains of central North Dakota and follows a great looping course east and south before turning north to meet the Red. Its valley was cut by waters from melting glaciers and crosses grassland and wooded river bottoms. The English name recalls the Cheyenne people, who lived in the wider region before moving farther west.
