<P> The Northern Cheyenne, known in Cheyenne either as Notameohmésêhese, meaning "Northern Eaters" or simply as Ohmésêhese meaning "Eaters", live in southeastern Montana on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation . Tribal enrollment figures, as of late 2014, indicate that there are approximately 10,840 members, of which about 4,939 reside on the reservation . Approximately 91% of the population are Native Americans (full or part race), with 72.8% identifying themselves as Cheyenne . Slightly more than one quarter of the population five years or older spoke a language other than English . </P> <P> The Southern Cheyenne, known in Cheyenne as Heévâhetaneo'o meaning "Roped People", together with the Southern Arapaho, form the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, in western Oklahoma . Their combined population is 12,130, as of 2008 . In 2003, approximately 8,000 of these identified themselves as Cheyenne, although with continuing intermarriage it has become increasingly difficult to separate the tribes . </P> <P> The Cheyenne Nation is composed of two tribes, the Só'taeo'o or Só'taétaneo'o (more commonly as Suhtai or Sutaio; singular: Só'taétane) and the Tsétsêhéstâhese (more commonly as the Tsitsistas; singular: Tsétsêhéstaestse), which translates to "those who are like this". These two tribes had always traveled together, becoming fully merged sometime after 1831, when they were still noted as having separate camps . The Suhtai were said to have originally had slightly different speech and customs from their traveling companions . </P> <P> The name "Cheyenne" may be derived from Dakota Sioux exonym for them, Šahíyena (meaning "little Šahíya"). Though the identity of the Šahíya is not known, many Great Plains tribes assume it means Cree or some other people who spoke an Algonquian language related to Cree and Cheyenne . The Cheyenne word for Ojibwe is Sáhea'eo'o, a word that sounds similar to the Dakota word Šahíya . </P>
