The Inuna-ina (Arapaho), like the Tsistsistas (Cheyenne), were divided into two groups and put on separate reservations by the federal government around 1870. Despite these difficulties, the Inuna-ina continued to produce fine beadwork; and they continue that tradition today. Inuna-ina (Arapaho) or Tsistsistas (Cheyenne), United States, Americas
