Ghost Dance Central ritual of the messianic religion instituted in the late 19th cent. by a Paiute named Wovoka. The religion prophesied the peaceful end of the westward expansion of whites and a return of the land to the Native Americans. The ritual lasted five successive days, being danced each night and on the last night continued until morning. Hypnotic trances and shaking accompanied this ceremony, which was supposed to be repeated every six weeks. The dance originated among the Paiute c.1870; later, other Native Americans sent delegates to Wovoka to learn his teachings and ritual. In a remarkably short time the religion spread to most of the Western Native Americans. The ghost dance is chiefly significant because it was a central feature among the Sioux just prior to the massacre of hundreds of Sioux at Wounded Knee, S.Dak., in 1890. The Sioux, wearing shirts called ghost shirts, believed they would be protected from the soldiers' bullets.

Congress changed government policy with the Dawes Act in 1887. The law aimed to eliminate what Americans regarded as the two weaknesses of Native American life: the lack of private property and the nomadic tradition. The Dawes Act proposed to break up the reservations at the end identification with the tribal group. Each Native American would receive a plot of reservation land. The goal was to encourage native peoples to become farmers and, eventually, American citizens. Native American children would be sent to white-run boarding schools. Some of the reservations lands would be sold to support the schooling. Over the next 50 years, the government divided up the reservations. Speculators acquired most of the valuable land. native American often received dry, gravelly plots that were not suited to farming. The Dawes Act changed forever the Native Americans way of life and weakened their cultural traditions. in their despair the Sioux turned in 1890 to Wovoka, a prophet. Wovoka claimed that the Sioux could regain their former greatness if they performed a ritual known as the Ghost dance. the Ghost Dance was a way for the Sioux to express their culture that was being destroyed.

Using sage as a deterrent for evil apparitions is a Native American ritual. The ritual is actually more of a superstition than a preventative measure. There is no evidence that sage wards off spirits. And there is no evidence that spirits are anything more than harmless natural residual energy. However if you believe in such a thing and believe that the perceived being in your home is an evil one, speak to a local priest or spiritual medium.
