The Ghost Dance appeared during a time of desperation for the Native American Indian people. The Ghost Dance started when Paiute shaman Jack Wilson or Wovoka had a vision that if our people would dance and sing we Indians would live again. The Ghost Dance spread throughout the land. In Dec. 1890 the military panicked and massacred innocent Lakota Indian people at Wound Knee while they danced. It is one of the worse incidents in United States history. Judy Trejo - Summit Lake (Tommo Agi) and Walker River (Agi) Paiute and Anita Collins - Shoshone and Walker River Paiute speak about Wovoka. The Round Dance was a traditional Great Basin dance that spread across the land in the form of the Ghost Dance, and is now part of many celebrations. Robbie Robertson sings "Ghost Dance".

  • First of all ...

    First of all Mormons are christians and there is not a court on earth or in heaven that could prove otherwise. Second, useing the Mountain meadow massacre to reflect the mormons is like saying all baptists are based on the Westborough Baptist church teachings. Seriously people give it a rest. Oh and Mormons have only one God and yes they did preach to the indians but no more than anyother christian group did all over the americas.

  • the Indians were ...

    the Indians were influenced by MORMONS way more than Christians. I study Mormon and MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE. "we" all know MORMONS used the simplicity of Utes etc for Mormon 'wants'. in 1830 M' predicted '1890 Apocalypse'. M' had 'MAGIC UNDERWEAR' too.M evangelized Ind' greatly in all the territory. M' used 'their gods' to convince Ind' of similarity as "BROTHERS" w/ Ind'. IF 'you' have info on M' I would like to hear, will share what i have.

    That pic is shown just as the narrator is speaking about the "white opressors". It is appropriate in it's use.

    it is descovered by the DNA chromozome analyses that native americans had passed the berring strait some 20 thousand years ago from asia to america-alaska by following the group of ren deers. they were only 13 people that time passing the ice-covered frozen strait. hence their origin is proved to be turkic asian groups. ref.source:discovery channel tv.and national geographics tv.unfortunetly more than 100 million native americans have been genocided in the history.i adore them.

    There is evil in every race. Native Americans had evil people among them. Dont be so stupid as to think anything different. If you do not believe this then you are not facing the truth. The root of all evil is Satan and he does not care what race he corrupts.

    The human been is nothing more than a superior level of animal regnum. As animals are so differents:colour, height, as we are different, but this doesn 't mean that one colour is better than the other...I know only 2 kind of peoples: good people and the others who can be made good. To use correctly the human brain is the secret of all.

    This is an excellent presentation and it is a valuble part of American history. Rather than getting stuck in shame or taking pot shots at each other we should learn from it and be able to grow spiritualy.

    This video is very powerful and holy. My great-grandmother was involved in this communication with the spirits. I am very grateful these teachings are being preserved. The prophet Wovoka was right, and he told the truth, but not in a way the ordinary person can understand. Please preserve this spiritual beauty for generations yet to come.
