"The Ghost-Dance Religion and the Sioux Outbreak of 1890" by James Mooney is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work investigates the origins and significance of the Ghost Dance among Native American tribes, specifically focusing on the Sioux and the circumstances surrounding their outbreak in 1890. The book also explores the broader implications of the movement as a religious revival amidst the struggles faced by Indigenous peoples in North America. The opening of this significant work introduces the context from which Mooney's research emerges, detailing his initial investigations into the Ghost Dance and its rapid spread among various tribes such as the Cheyenne and Arapaho. Mooney recounts his firsthand experiences and extensive travels to different tribes, highlighting his interactions with the adherents of the Ghost Dance. He emphasizes the deeper purpose behind the movement, linking it to a profound longing for redemption and revitalization among Native Americans facing cultural and existential crises due to encroaching colonial influences. Through careful documentation and analysis, the author sets the stage for understanding the Ghost Dance and its implications for Indigenous spirituality and resistance.
