Not all Cheyenne beadwork uses the method of going in behind the lines of beawork. Much of the old tradtional methods has the needle going behind or under and behind the place where the row above is located. You are going to find exceptions to all beawork and how it is made. It is hard to find what is clearly one tribe or another. I like to work with old traditional material and we never say one in indicative of a tribe or not. There have been too many cross-overs of tribes camping with each other. Even today you will find nothing is totaly set.
