The Ghost Dance Religion was first introduced to the Sioux Indians in the summer of 1889 but did not really become widely known until 1890. The Sioux Indians were attacked at Wounded Knee on December 29, 1890 by the Seventh Cavalry. .
Why/How.
One of the main reasons why the Ghost Dance caught became so widely popular was the Dawes Act. The Dawes Act took from the Sioux Indians one of the few things they had left, their land. The Dawes act just made the Indian's situation that much worse, it made the rationing of food for the Sioux a must for their survival. .
The Ghost Dance Religion was started by a Paiute Indian named Wovoca. He claimed to have had a vision where he was taken up to Heaven and there he met God. In Heaven he saw all of his people that had died before him. In heaven they were all happy and eternally young. The scene he was shown by God was one of a beautiful untouched land full of game. Wovoca was then told by God that there was a new world to come. This new world would not have any white people and it would be restored to an untouched land full of great buffalo herds. God then gave Wovoca a dance to bring back to his people. Wovoca was told that if he and his people would perform this dance they would secure this new world full of beauty and bounty. .
