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, documenting the events leading up to the infamous Sioux Outbreak of 1890. The book explores the religious practices of the Sioux people, particularly the Ghost Dance movement, which was believed to bring about the return of the buffalo and the restoration of their way of life. Mooney delves into the origins of the Ghost Dance, its spread throughout the Sioux tribes, and the government's response to the movement, which ultimately led to the tragic Wounded Knee Massacre. The book also provides insight into the cultural and political tensions between Native Americans and the United States government during the late 19th century. Mooney's meticulous research and detailed analysis make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American history, religious practices, and the impact of colonialism on indigenous communities.Fourteenth Annual Report Of The Bureau Of Ethnology To The Secretary Of The Smithsonian Institution 1892-93 By J.
