The document discusses the Ghost Dance religion among Native Americans in the late 19th century. It provides background on conflicts between the Sioux and European Americans over hunting buffalo and construction on their lands. It then describes the origins and spread of the Ghost Dance, started by Wovoka in 1889 with a message of peace and visions of the return of ancestors and old ways of life. This caught on among the Sioux peoples and led to increased tensions, culminating in the killing of Sitting Bull in 1890 and the Wounded Knee Massacre later that year, where over 160 Lakota and 30 U.S. soldiers died.
