Ghost Dancer


The highly sacred dance of the ghost dancers originated in the 1870s from a vision that came to Wavoka, a Paiute Indian. The Great Father appeared to Wovoka and instructed him to lead his people in this dance.

At the same instant, the Ghost Dance religion was born, a religion of prosperity that radiated serenity and peace.
