The Ghost Dance movement, which emerged among Native American tribes in the late 19th century, aimed to restore their ancestral ways and bring about a renewal of their cultures. For non-Native Americans, the Ghost Dance was often perceived as a threat, leading to increased tensions and misunderstandings. This culminated in violent confrontations, such as the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890, where the U.S. government sought to suppress what they viewed as a dangerous uprising. The movement ultimately highlighted the desperation of Native communities and the broader conflicts between Indigenous peoples and settler colonialism.
