MohawkBearClan:Noted in historical accounts as the Ghost Dance of 1890, the Ghost Dance was a religious movement incorporated into numerous Native American belief systems. The traditional ritual used in the Ghost Dance, the circle dance, has been used by many Native Americans since prehistoric times, but was first performed in accordance with Jack Wilson's teachings among the Nevada Paiute in 1889.
The practice swept ... ( 2 weeks ago by Lindyblu)
The practice swept throughout much of the American West, quickly reaching areas of California and Oklahoma. As the Ghost Dance spread from its original source, Native American tribes synthesized selective aspects of the ritual with their own beliefs, often creating change in both the society that integrated it and the ritual itself.
At the core of the ... ( 2 weeks ago by Lindyblu)
At the core of the movement was the prophet of peace Jack Wilson, known as Wovoka among the Paiute, who prophesied a peaceful end to white American expansion while preaching messages of clean living, an honest life, and cross-cultural cooperation. Perhaps the best known facet of the Ghost Dance movement is the role it reportedly played in instigating the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890, which resulted in the deaths of at least 153 Lakota Sioux.

Wovoka, The Paiute Messiah:"All Indians must dance, everywhere, keep on dancing. Pretty soon in next spring Great Spirit come. He bring back all game of every kind. The game be thick everywhere. All dead Indians come back and live again. they all be strong just like young men, be young again. Old blind Indian see again and get young and have fine time. When Great Spirit comes this way, then all the Indians go to mountains, high up away from whites. Whites can't hurt Indians then.

Then while Indians way up high, big flood comes like water and all white people die, get drowned. After that, water go away and then nobody but Indians everyhwhere and game all kinds thick. Then medicine man tell Indians to send word to all Indians to keep up dancing and the good time will come. Indians who don't dance, who don't believe in this word, will grow little, just about a foot high, and stay that way. Some of them will be turned into wood and burned in fire."
This is quoted from ... ( 2 weeks ago by Lindyblu)
This is quoted from "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee." by Dee Brown They gathered and tried to have the Ghost Dance. Troops tracked them and surrounded them and killed without discrimination men, women, and children. Old or young it did not matter to them. This was one of the most horrible accounts I have ever read of the brutality to which our ancestors were subjected.

Outstep33: No worries :) I understand this is one of the biggest places it seems to display racist tendencies. From what I understand youtube is going to put an end to stuff like that.
