The Ghost Dance Religion And The Sioux Outbreak Of 1890

The Ghost Dance Religion And The Sioux Outbreak Of 1890 is a historical account written by James Mooney that explores the religious movement known as the Ghost Dance and its impact on the Sioux Native American tribe in 1890. The book delves into the origins of the Ghost Dance, which was a spiritual movement that promised the return of deceased ancestors, the restoration of traditional ways of life, and the removal of white settlers from Native American lands. Mooney examines the spread of the Ghost Dance among the Sioux and the resulting tensions between the tribe and the US government, which feared that the movement would incite violence and rebellion. The book also details the events leading up to the Wounded Knee Massacre, which was the tragic outcome of these tensions. The Ghost Dance Religion And The Sioux Outbreak Of 1890 is a comprehensive and insightful account of a pivotal moment in US history and the struggle of Native American tribes to preserve their culture and way of life in the face of oppression and injustice.Fourteenth Annual Report Of The Bureau Of Ethnology To The Secretary Of The Smithsonian Institution 1892-93 By J.
