Ghost Dancers The Dance of Ghosts, a spiritual dance of the Lakota Sioux in the late 1800's, became their hope - and their demise. Their ancestors were to rise from the dead, reclaim their lands and restore it to its natural state, as it was prior to the intrusion of the white man. But what actually happened was far from what Wovoka. their Messiah, preached. Ghost Dancers follows Lt. George Hawkins from the Battle of the Little Bighorn to the newly established Indian reservations to the massacre at Wounded Knee, a massacre precipitated by the Ghost Dance. Here is the story of one man’s
determination to make a difference. |
