What is ghost dance about?
The Ghost Dance was brought about by a Paiute prophet named Wovoka who came to many tribes and told them that he had had a vision. He said that in the vision he saw Indians having a renaissance (rebirth) of the Indians and culture and they would rise against the "white man". He said he also saw the animals, namely their main food source, the buffalo, come back to life. But the biggest part of the Ghost Dance Religion was how in the prophets dream he saw the Indian ancestors, family, friends, and tribe members come back from the grave (Hence "ghost" dance). The vision was based on Christian ideas of God and was readily accepted during a time of great sorrow among the Indians. This theory spread across some Indian Nations like wild fire. The prophet told them however, that in order to make the dream a reality, they had to dance. So when they danced for long periods with no effect, the religion died down. But a second round of the vision came back to life with basically the same exact aspect from a different man who had the same vision. This man however, turned the dance, into a total religion. He brought different religion teachings into the Ghost Dance Religion(as it was called later). Look up the Ghost Dance Religion. It's really has interesting beginning and ending.
