Ghost Dance
Definition
- The Ghost Dance of 1890 was an American Indian religious movement that was based on the return of prosperity for Indian peoples in the face of the depressed conditions that existed on American Indian reservations. The movement featured the belief that good living and the peaceful accommodation to whites would bring about the resurrection of their dead relatives and a return of the old way of life.
