Wovoka, also known as Jack Wilson, was a Northern Paiute prophet and religious leader born in 1856. He is best known for his role in the Ghost Dance movement, which emerged in the late 19th century among Native American tribes as a spiritual revival and a response to the hardships faced by Indigenous peoples due to colonization. Wovoka taught that through the Ghost Dance, Native Americans could reunite with their ancestors and restore their lands and way of life. His teachings significantly influenced various tribes, leading to both hope and conflict during that era.
