The Cheyenne were a 19th century Native American tribe. Like the Paiute and Kiowa, they believed in dakina spirits, used ceremonial self-mutilation like Catch-the-Bear's war bonnet, fetishised bones, and used prolonged ritualised torture as a means to achieve a communal altered state of consciousness through the victim's screams.
