the Cheyenne military community is one of two traditional Cheyenne Indian government center institutions, the other is the Council of the Forty Four. While the head of the board is responsible for the overall governance of individual and tribal bands as a whole, the head of the military community is in charge of maintaining tribal discipline, supervising tribal and ceremonial hunting, and providing military leadership. Historically, the chairman of the council chose which of the six military societies to perform these tasks; after a period of time in charge, leaders will choose different communities to take on the task.

Four original communities
The Prophet Sweet Drug is said to establish four communities of original Cheyenne warriors (pl. <Â> NÃÆ'³t? XÃÆ' Â © v? Stot? Tse , sing. NÃÆ'³t? XÃÆ' Â © vest ? tse ), which has its own community song ( nÃÆ'³t? xÃÆ'Ã… © noot? tse ) and is ruled by a human head ( nÃÆ'³t? xÃÆ' Â © v? honeve ). Over the centuries, some have developed branches or have changed.
Fox
Fox Warriors Society ( VÃÆ'³hkÃÆ'ªsÃÆ'Â © hetaneo'o or MonÃÆ'ªsÃÆ'³onetaneo'o ), also known as Swift Fox or Kitfox MÃÆ'³n? sÃÆ'³onetane , pl. MÃÆ'³ts? sÃÆ'³onetaneo'o ; variant: singing VÃÆ'³hk? sÃÆ'Â © hetane i>, pl VÃÆ'³hk? sÃÆ'Â © hetaneo'o ). This community is found between Northern and Southern Cheyenne. The Coyote Warriors Society and Flintmen Society (sing. Mós ? SÃÆ'³onetane, pl. MotsÃÆ'ªsÃÆ'³onetaneo'o ) is a branch of the Fox Warriors Society. Between North Cheyenne, Kit Fox Soldiers always claim superiority over others. Have strong ties through weddings with the Fox Society Kit (in Lakota: Toka'la ) affiliated family with Lakota Sioux. Deer
Elk Warriors Society also known as Elk Horn Scrapers ( HÃÆ' Â © mo'eoxeso ), Bone Scraper Society , Hoof Rattle , Crooked Spear , Lance Head , Blue Soldier or Lance Drug . This society is found between Northern and Southern Cheyenne. This is the famous Roman Nose warrior society, and also from the mixed race Cheyenne George Bent.
Shield
Shield Warriors Society ( Ma'ÃÆ'ªhoohevaso ), also known as Red Shield (singing Ma '? hooh? v? htse , pl. Ma 'hoohevase -? Redshields, lazy group.Lit: red spike (shield)?). or Red Fox . The community was originally found both in Northern and Southern Cheyenne. Today there is only among the North Cheyenne. Buffalo Warriors ), also known as Buffalo Bull or Bull , is a branch of the Shield Warriors Society. Bow string
Men Burp ( Hema'tanÃÆ'³n? heo'o , pl. HÃÆ' Â © ma'tanÃÆ'³ohese -? Bowstrings, Lit: those who have straps bow), also known as Owl Man's Bowstring, since it was founded by a Cheyenne warrior named Owl Man . The community was originally found both in Northern and Southern Cheyenne. Today is just between Southern Cheyenne under the alternative name of the Wolf Warriors Society ( Ho'nÃÆ' Â © henÃÆ'³tÃÆ' ¢ xeo'o ) for Bowstring Men. The Northern Cheyenne's today, 2018, has both Crazy Dog Society and Bowstring or Wolf Soldier Society & lt; from someone who lives there and has an active family member in Bowstrings and friends at Crazy Dogs in 2018 & gt; the community grew from Bowstring Men in the 19th century through a vision given to the North Cheyenne Owl Friend.Among, the Wolves Warriors gradually adopted the name Crazy Dog ( HotamÃÆ'Â Â © mÃÆ' Â ¢ sÃÆ'ªhao 'o ). Both groups - the Wolf Warriors Society (Southern Cheyenne) and Crazy Dogs (Northern Cheyenne) - consider themselves constituents of the same organization that was originally called Bowstring Men. In the North Cheyenne, Mad Dogs and Bowstring or Wolves Warriors exist independently. Maps Cheyenne military societies
The fifth community
Dog Warrior Society ( HotamÃÆ' Â © taneo'o ), also known as Male Dog . This society is also called the Dog Soldier by white people. The Dog Warrior Society was founded by the direction given in a visionary dream after the departure of the Sweet Medicine Prophet. The community was originally found both in Northern and Southern Cheyenne. Today there is only between South Cheyenne.
Crazy Dog ( HotamÃÆ' Â © mÃÆ' Â ¢ sÃÆ'ªhao'o ), also known as Foolish Dog . The community is similar to Bowstring Men in function, but is only found among North Cheyenne. Among North Cheyenne, Dog Warrior Society and Wolf Warriors join. This resulted in the development of the new Dog Warrior, now called Mad Dog. Mad Dogs are considered by many to be the sixth society, not the fifth branch of society. "The members imitate the coyotes in the strength of their endurance, cunning and activity, they transcend their fellow tribes in long distances, play games, etc. There are about 150 soldiers in the community, and a tribal chief" (Dorsey, 1905, Vol I: 19).
Sixth Society
The conflicting Warriors Community ( HohnÃÆ'³hkao'o ), also known as Inverted Bow-string Society . Its members, the warring soldiers, have proven their courage by climbing back into combat.
Conflicting People (sing. Hohnohka , pl. HohnÃÆ'³hkao'o ), also known as Clown Society . This society harnesses the same spiritual power as the conflicting Warriors Society. It mainly consists of the Cheyenne elders and may be an adult variation of the Controversial War Society. They were assigned to teach Cheyenne's ceremonial ways of cultural "dos" and "not to be done" through humor, sarcasm and satire, in a fashion that contradicts traditional Cheyenne culture.
Association of Woman Soldiers
Ehyophsta, who fought at the Battle of Beecher Island, was a member of the "women who went to war with their husbands" (Grinnell). The qualification seems to be wrong because he is known to have been a fighter only when he was widowed. John Sipes Jr., the late South Cheyenne historian, mentions that his ancestor Mochi (Cheyenne) was a warrior with his own right, possession of horse-war medicine and his own war as well as members of that community.
