What is Ghost Dance?
-
The Ghost Dance is a spiritual movement that emerged in the late 19th century among Native American tribes, particularly among the Plains Indians. It was founded by the Paiute prophet Wovoka, who claimed to have received a vision during a solar eclipse in 1889.
-
The Ghost Dance movement led to the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. The U.S. government viewed this movement as a threat, resulting in the deaths of many Native Americans.
-
The Ghost Dance was not just a ritual; it became a symbol of the efforts of Indigenous peoples to preserve and revitalize their cultural identity. Today, this movement is remembered as an important part of the resistance and identity of Native peoples in American history.

The Desert (Ghost Dance)
-
I wanna live in the desert.
That’s where my mind can be free.
I wanna be in the desert.
To see as far as I can see.
-
My naked soul blows in the wind,
And flies up high into the sky.
Unhindered vision all around me,
Changing colors as I fly.
-
If your heart has fallen to the ground,
As you walk your Native Land,
You can call it back to your god,
As you walk the desert sands.
-
I wanna live in the desert.
That’s where my mind can be free.
I wanna be in the desert.
To see as far as I can see.
-
I dreamed the Ghost Dance long ago,
And saw that Life begins again.
More are gone now than are here now,
Like the trails where we’ve been.
-
There’s an end to every story,
And every story is a Life.
The Desert is The Book of Stories,
Full of Sorrow, Joy, and Strife.
