   Ghost dance \Ghost dance\
      A religious dance of the North American Indians, participated
      in by both sexes, and looked upon as a rite of invocation the
      purpose of which is, through trance and vision, to bring the
      dancer into communion with the unseen world and the spirits
      of departed friends. The dance is the chief rite of the
  
      {Ghost-dance}, or
  
      {Messiah},
  
      {religion}, which originated about 1890 in the doctrines of
            the Piute Wovoka, the Indian Messiah, who taught that the
            time was drawing near when the whole Indian race, the dead
            with the living, should be reunited to live a life of
            millennial happiness upon a regenerated earth. The
            religion inculcates peace, righteousness, and work, and
            holds that in good time, without warlike intervention, the
            oppressive white rule will be removed by the higher
            powers. The religion spread through a majority of the
            western tribes of the United States, only in the case of
            the Sioux, owing to local causes, leading to an outbreak.
