ReligionNot all Indian resistance was violent. In the late 1880's a Paiute named Wevoka inspired the Ghost Dance religion, mainly among plains tribes which had been crushed by the U.S. Army. W.evo-ka’s followers did a prescribed dance which was supposed to make the White Man disappear, bring back the old Indian heroes, and restore the buffalo and old ways of life.
