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.

Firstly, it is important to define the phenomenon known as "ghost dancing". To properly "ghost dance", one must first cease to exist within the plane of existence of the person being "danced". This entails hiding in walls as walls are in between rooms and therefore metaphorically between dimensions. Once one is in the wall, they use the sticks lashed to their hands and feet to scrape against the wall. This mimics the motion and sounds of feet sliding on the floor as someone dances. (NB: this can also be done from inside the floors between levels but it requires more agility.) This caused great concern for US officials as they suddenly had to change building code regulations to accomodate walls and floors with enough space for 1 or 2 people to adequately "ghost dance" someone.

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.
