The Ghost Dance was a religious revival movement led by Wovoka, a Northern Paiute holy man. The Ghost Dance united Plains Indian tribes and gave them hope and faith that the whites would leave and the Buffalo would return.
It was a new religious movement incorporated into numerous Native American belief systems.
In the Ghost Dance, something would happen to make the white eyes (white people) disappear. The world would then return to the Indians.
Dead native americans would rise, the white man would disappear, and the traditional native american way of life would be restored.
So the Indians could get their groove on and get funky. They usually did the Dougie.
The people believed if they did the ghost dance the buffalo would come back and the white men would leave.

At the time of the Ghost Dance, Indians were not allowed to practice or even congregate for any reason which might be construed as religious. There was a two fold reason for this. Their religious beliefs gave them strength and unification. The whites were fearful of this and strove to separate them from their spiritual beliefs to avoid any possible uprising. The second reason was the whites simply did not understand Native beliefs and believed them to be evil.

The Ghost Dance started with the Paiute spiritual leader Wovoka. Some historians believe the dance started before that and that Wovoka elevated it to a religious movement. By 1889, conditions on the reservations had deteriorated to such a degree that the Ghost Dance, if properly performed, would bring back the spirits of the dead to help the people fight their enemies. Although, as with all American Indian ceremonies, the Ghost Dance was banned, it spread as an underground movement throughout the west. As the dance spread and hope within the Indian nations grew, other tribes took portions of the dance and incorporated their own spiritual beliefs and traditions.
