| | Ghost Dance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Believers in the Ghost Dance spirituality are convinced that performing the Ghost Dance will eventually reunite them with their ancestors coming by railway from the spirit world. | | | The Ghost Dance — also known as the Ghost Dance of 1890 — as noted in historical accounts, was a millennialist spiritual movement among Native Americans in the United States that began toward the end of 1888 and reached its peak just before the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890. | | | Central to the Natdia religion was the dance itself — dancing in a circular pattern continuously — which induced a state of religious ecstasy. |

| | The Ghost Dance was a fluid religion that evolved as it spread, and several distinct movements arose as descendants of the original (1870) Ghost Dance. | | | The principal ritual of the Ghost Dance religion was the dance itself. | | | The central precept of the Ghost Dance as preached by Wovoka involved the reuniting of the living and the dead; this doctrine of resurrection of the dead may have been inspired by Christian beliefs, to which Wovoka had been exposed. |

| | The Ghost Dance movement was a reaction to the total defeat of the Plains Indians by the US Army and their confinement to small Indian reservations. | | | This vision became the nucleus for the Ghost Dance, in which American Indian peoples engaged in frenzied trance-inducing dancing, believing it would eliminate the whites and leave only the Indians and their ancestors. | | | In October 1890 the Ghost Dance movement reached Standing Rock, where Sitting Bull's Hunkpapa Sioux lived with the Oglala Sioux. |

| | Among the Sioux and Arapaho, the Ghost Dance was one of the central rituals of a new religious movement that focused on the restoration of the past, as opposed to a salvation in a new future. | | | The Ghost Dance was an attempt of a group of North American Indian tribes to further separate themselves from the white man and the religious doctrines they were forcing upon the tribal peoples. | | | The Ghost Dance was a resurrection of the dead, a bringing back of the customs and way of life that the Indians were trying to hold onto. |

| | The Ghost Dance religion promised an apocalypse in the coming years during which time the earth would be destroyed, only to be recreated with the Indians as the inheritors of the new earth. | | | The evolution of a new religion, the Ghost Dance, was a reaction to the Indians being forced to submit to government authority and reservation life. | | | According to Wovoka, converts of the new religion were supposed to take part in the Ghost Dance to hasten the arrival of the new era as promised by the messiah. |

| | It is important to note, however, that Mooney's "Ghost Dance Religion & Sioux Outbreak of 1890" monograph written as an "ethnologist" / anthropologist observing the Ghost Dancers at the time makes no mention of peyote. | | | The main connections appear to be that the knowledge of the use of peyote spread through some of the same mechanisms and institutions that spread the Ghost Dance practices across the northern United States and that some who participated in the Ghost Dance participated in peyote using ceremonies. | | | That is, like the Ghost Dance, peyotism was also an attempt to overcome existing social disorganization by means of a collective rite. |

| | This image captures the culminating moment in the Ghost Dance ritual when swallows appear to the participants in this spiritual ceremony -- swallows, who are messengers from God (Tungashila), herald the approach of the returning ancestors, and a return to all that was good for (in this case) those who remained of the Lakota people. | | | By the time of the Ghost Dance most of the great leaders of their people were gone -- Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull -- and they were forced to live out their lives on a reservation, unable to live the nomadic life hunting buffalo and living on the land - a gift from Tungashila. | | | At the end of the last century, the promise of the Ghost Dance was the return of the buffalo and departed relatives, a lost way of life. |

| | The Ghost Dance was a strange mix of Christianity and the Indians' own religion which tore through the Indian nations in 1889 and '90. | | | A Paiute called Wovoka claimed he had seen the dance in a vision and that if the people performed it a Messiah would come to rescue them from the whites. | | | It was non-violent and should have posed no threat to the white authorities, but they were afraid because the Indians were so crazed with the dance they did it for days on end, from dawn into the hours of darkness. |
