Silent Night (Cheyenne)
The words for this Christmas song were composed in Cheyenne in 1909 by Rev. Rodolphe Petter, a Mennonite missionary to the Cheyennes, who came to America from Switzerland. Petter's first language was French but he was also fluent in German. The Cheyenne is sung to the familiar tune from Gruber, known in English as Silent Night.
