 Cheyenne-Arapaho tribal headquarters at Concho, Oklahoma. Concho is located 7 miles north of El Reno. |
 The Cheyenne-Arapaho tribal headquarters are located at the corner of Red Moon Circle and Black Kettle Boulevard. Red Moon was a Cheyenne chief who lived near Hammon in the 1880's. The Cheyenne name for the town of Hammon (founded in 1910, where I was born and raised) is "Red Moon," (pronounced, "Ishe'mahiven," in the Cheyenne dialect). Black Kettle was the Cheyenne chief who was ruthlessly murdered in 1868 by Gen. George Armstrong Custer at the Battle of Washita near Cheyenne, Oklahoma. Actually it was a massacre rather than a battle. The site of the massacre is locate in Roger Mills County, approximately 17 miles east of where Wade McCoy was born and raised. It is approximately 21 miles west of where I was born and raised. |

 It doesn't get any better than this. Come out to Oklahoma and I'll sing a Cheyenne pow wow song for you. We plan to use this drum at a benefit dance for Watonga Indian Baptist Church. |
