Cheyenne generally beaded moccasins in a band around the bottom and another band through the center. They beaded the two unequal triangular areas that remained, which are called “bison tracks,” in dark green. Steep triangular shapes with “doors” in contrasting colors are also common elements of Cheyenne designs.
