Ethan found this early film of the Ghost Dance made in Thomas Edison's studio in New Jersey. The studio was called "Black Maria" and each year there is still a film festival called the Black Maria film fest.
if i were to see people doing this dance it would scare me and make me leave them and alone which would have accomplished their goal of getting the white people to leave them alone

haha i would probably laugh then walk away. Its funny to me, but i know its serious to many native americans
yeah it is some they take very seriously but its hard for outsiders to appreciate because we are not use to that culture
i agree. i also wish that the ghost dance was describied in the book and what victor and other friends thought about it.
ms. deckard, do they actually do these ghost dances for 5 consecutive days??
This would scare me if I saw it in person! It looks intimidating. It looks like the dancers are possessed by something.
