Men did a lot of work. They would make weapons for themselves. When the Cheyenne were at war the men were the ones who went to fight. Men always did the hunting , they would kill buffalo, wild sheep, and elk . The men hunted buffalo in groups, when they hunted buffalo they surrounded the herd and then started to kill. The men also did the fishing. Men fished with willow nets. Men took on a great deal of responsibility .
The women in the tribe also had a bit of work to do. The women did most of the child raising. They would make
clothes from buffalo, wild sheep, and antelope. Women also did the cooking
and pottery. They would gather roots, berries, and seeds for
medicine. They would often adorn buckskin with fringes and decorated
clothing with dyed porcupine quills. Women were usually busy. 
Cheyenne children worked and had fun. Cheyenne
children loved to play. They would play like they were animals, like
coyotes and bears. They would also set up ''play camps.'' The
children would use the teepee there mother would make for them. To
play, they got dogs to carry supplies a little ways from home. By age six,
Cheyenne children learned to ride horses. The girls would play with deerskin dolls and boys would play
with bows and arrows. Cheyenne children loved to play but they still
worked too.
