They weren't frightened, but the Ghost Dance gave the Sioux hope and courage to face the problems that they were finding as part of the movement to reservations.

Why can't white people dance?

It's a matter of culture, not physiology. It would be better to say why can't people from Germanic cultures dance. The Spanish certainly have a very strong dance tradition as to the Gaels with their Irish and Scots Step dance. Check out 'Flamenco' and 'Riverdance' before saying 'White people can't dance.' In Riverdance 'Lord of the Dance' there is a interesting competitive display of Irish step alongside African - American dance. It might change your mind about 'white people can't dance' They can dance, just not in the way that other cultures like.

What is the Sioux Indian Ghost Dance?

The Ghost Dance was a near- Christian religious ceremony that if properly performed would bring the bison back, all dead warriors back and victory over the white invaders. More importantly, the Ghost Dance offered hope to a people whose spirit was eroding which is why it got outlawed by the whites. The whites needed to break the Indian spirit to control them, something they never truly accomplished. NOTE: It should also be noted that the "Ghost Dance" started with a Paiute named Wovoka who had allegedly had a vision of God. It was 'synthesized' as it was accepted into each tribe; so its meaning may change dependent on which tribe the reference is made from.


What best describes beliefs associated with the ghost dance?

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.
