The two divisions maintained regular and close contact. </p><p>In the southern portion of their territory, the Cheyenne and Arapaho warred with the allied Comanche, Kiowa, and Plains Apache. Numerous battles were fought including a notable fight along the Washita River in 1836 with the Kiowa which resulted in the death of 48 Cheyenne warriors of the Bowstring society.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In summer 1838, many Cheyenne and Arapaho attacked a camp of Kiowa and Comanche along Wolf Creek in Oklahoma resulting in heavy losses from both sides.

The raid ended in disaster with heavy resistance from Mexican lancers, resulting in all but three of the war party being killed. </p><p>To the north, the Cheyenne allied with the Lakota, which allowed them to expand their territory into part of their former lands around the Black Hills. By heading into the Rocky Mountains, they managed to escape the 1837–39 smallpox epidemics that swept across the plains from white settlements but were greatly affected by the 1849 cholera epidemic.

The central traditional government system of the Cheyenne is the Arrow Keeper, followed by the Council of Forty-Four. Early in Cheyenne history, three related tribes, known as the <i>Heviqsnipahis</i>, the <i>Só'taeo'o</i> and the <i>Masikota</i>, unified themselves to form the <i>Tsé-tsêhéstâhese</i> or the "Like Hearted People" who are known today as the "Cheyenne". The unified tribe then divided themselves into ten principal bands: </p> <ul><li>Heviksnipahis (<i>Iviststsinihpah</i>)</li> <li>Hévhaitanio (<i>Heévâhetaneo'o</i>)</li> <li>Masikota</li> <li>Omísis (<i>Ôhmésêheseo'o</i>, the Notameohmésêhese proper)</li> <li>Só'taeo'o (<i>Suhtai</i> or <i>Sutaio</i>, Northern and Southern)</li> <li>Wotápio</li> <li>Oivimána (<i>Oévemana</i>, Northern and Southern)</li> <li>Hisíometanio (<i>Hesé'omeétaneo'o</i> or <i>Issiometaniu</i>)</li> <li>Ohktounna (<i>Oqtóguna</i>)</li> <li>Hónowa (<i>Háovôhnóva</i>)</li></ul> <p>Each of the ten bands had four seated chief delegates; the remaining four chiefs were the principal advisers of the other delegates. Smaller bands or sub-bands had no right to send delegates to the council. This system also regulated the <a href="/wiki/Cheyenne_military_societies" title="Cheyenne military societies">Cheyenne military societies</a> that developed for planning warfare, enforcing rules, and conducting ceremonies. </p><p>Anthropologists debate about Cheyenne societal organization. On the plains, it appears that they had a bilateral band kinship system. However, some anthropologists reported that the Cheyenne had a matrilineal band system.
