Ghost Dance, Earth Lodge, Bole Maru

Here's an excellent paper on the 1870 Ghost Dance in Nevada, Oregon and California. Lots of witness accounts and details on regalia. Well worth the read.

Such a fascinating, and ultimately sad, movement. A good study for trying to understand the origins and sources of spiritual movements in general, particularly spiritual movements that grow out of extreme stress and cultural fragmentation. If we live in a multiverse, maybe somewhere their dreams were realized….
