Zeno Shindler of an 1852 daguerreotype by St. Louis photographer John H. Fitzgibbon. The daguerreotype was probably made on their way home from Washington, D.C., where they received the peace medals they are wearing from President Millard Fillmore.

Courting Scene, White Buffalo (White-Headed Bull) (Northern Cheyenne/Arapaho, 1862-1929), ca. 1881-1884, ink and watercolor on paper. Detroit Institute of Arts

White Buffalo was sent to the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in 1881 when he was 19, and left in 1884. The letter attached to this piece in the archive describes that he painted this shortly after arriving at Carlisle as part of an illustrated book depicting a love story. This love story was probably not autobiographical, as White Buffalo was known for his striking white hair. The other student artwork from Carlisle I can find record of from the same period is done in a Western style, though artists imprisoned at the Carlisle Barracks a few years prior were prolific in Plains-style drawings compared to the students who would come after them. This article attributes the shift to quasi-military curricula which "lessened the time available to produce pictures" and forced students to renounce tribal art styles in favor of "formal art training", aligning with the school's broader aims of cultural destruction through forced assimilation. White Buffalo later went on to become a chief of the Northern Cheyenne—here's his Wikipedia for more info on his life.

Notes from National Geographic 'Atlas of Indian Nations', p. :

Notable cases of multi-tribal resistance:

The Ottawa chief Pontiac brought more than a dozen tribes together in 1763 and together they burnt down nine of eleven British forts.

Tecumseh was a Shawnee Chief who also brought tribes together to fight the European settlers, but he lost his life in battle.

In the Plains, the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapho often worked together against American invasion.

The Apache fought alone.

Resistance rarely did anything than buy a little time before the inevitable engulfment of European expansion.

Cheyenne, circa 1880

Nothing is known about the Cheyenne people prior to the sixteenth century. They may have come north after the last Ice age receded from the lower Mississippi Valley.

The earliest known official record of the Cheyenne comes from the mid-1600s, when a group of Cheyenne visited Fort Crevecoeur, near present-day Chicago.

Red Armed Panther was a distinguished warrior, hunter, and scout who actively participated in Chief Little Wolf's trail back to the homeland ... There is also a painting by Byron Buchanan titled "Red Armed Panther of the Cheyenne Tribe".
