In the late 1800s, a religious movement known as the Ghost Dance emerged among Native Americans. By then, white settlers had driven many Native Americans onto reservations and taken away their means of subsistence. Native Americans believed that by performing the Ghost Dance, their lives would return to as they had been before European immigrants arrived.
In the western United States, there were two Ghost Dance cults. In western Nevada, they had their start with two Northern Paiute prophets.
These prophets predicted that all American Indians, both living and dead, would reunit on a new Earth. As a result, European settlers vanished and the old Native American way of life reappeared.
The Ghost Dance stressed peace and outlawed fighting either white people or American Indians. It was thought that the prophets' dances and songs had to be performed in order for the prophecies to come true more quickly.
The original Paiute circle dance served as the foundation for the Ghost Dance. Dancers shuffled to the left while holding hands and singing songs. Up to 20 times a year, the dance was performed five nights in a succession. Some dancers experienced trance states and had visions of the deceased. Ghost Dance rituals helped some dancers heal.
