Cheyenne tribal elders located

WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 2002

Two elderly Northern Cheyenne tribal members are alive and well after going missing during a cross-country trip.

Tribal police in Montana and local police in Colorado were looking for George Elkshoulder Sr., 75, and his sister Sylvia Elkshoulder, 62. Their family was worried after a pit-stop in Denver where Anna, George's wife, was separated from the group.

After a grueling five-day ordeal with little cash and little gas, George and Sylvia made it to a family member's home in Oklahoma.
