Why did the spread of the ghost dance movement cause concern for the us officials?

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.


What is Tragedy at Wounded Knee?

The tragedy at wounded knee occured when Sitting Bull, chief of the Lakota Sioux, was being hunted down for being the leader of the "ghost dance," the spiritual dance that was performed so that the bufallo would come back and all the white settlers would leave. Troops came to Sitting Bull's reservation, and Sitting Bull died in an exchange of gunfire. The other particapnts of the Ghost dance then escaped, but troops went after them. At Wounded Knee Creek, gunfire broke out and 200 largely unarmed Lakota and 25 US soldiers were killed.
