It also fits the theme of Sitting Bull's religion: one that relies on individual interpretation. By leaving it to the viewer to look up and learn about, the viewer is set to individually determine their own thoughts on the ghost dance.

I think there’s hope because although native Americans are still suffering many hardships and arguably dwindling, native Americans are still here and alive carrying their ancestors legacy and traditions despite the US government’s many attempts to destroy their culture in the past centuries and because of that I think that the native Americans will be able to rise again in terms of population in the future or survive. So even though Siting Bull’s story and others ended sadly, that doesn’t mean that the Lakota and other Native Americans tribes stories will end sadly too because their stories are far from over.

They're delegated to novelty, living on reservations... singing folk songs, doing rain dance while wearing traditional clothing is the only way megalomaniac empires allow Natives to live, it's the same story with Uyghurs in China or most Caucasus nations colonized by russians. Do you really think Native Americans care about reenacting traditions more than actually owning their own land? Only real reason USA gets little call to return it now is because their opponents are objectively worse, only because civil rights activism had so much blood shed in centuries and got progress, while Chinese, Iranian and russian imperialism is near its peak, and there's no pushback from inside.

What is fascinating about the Ghost Dance, is that it's essentially one of the christian doomsday sects that emerged in the mid-late 19th century (IE; Jehovas Witnesses, 7th Day Adventists, etc) - believing that not only would the land return and the Europeans be gone, but that it would coincide with the return of christ The Syncretism of a lot of the native religions under American expansion is just really interesting to me, and often gets kind of overlooked when covering the history more broadly.

History is so important, but sometimes it is the hardest thing to sit and read through. Thank you EH for always teaching us these wonderful stories. They are painful, but necessary so we don't make the same mistakes.

In middle school in France, my English teacher chose one trimester of the 9th grade teach us about native Americans and have us do presentations. As a pacifist from a young age I couldn’t relate to many of the warrior archetypes of the great native leaders (while understanding the legitimacy of their cause and tactics- they couldn’t afford to be pacifists). So I asked my teacher if I could do a presentation on a shaman/medecin man instead and he recommended me reading up on Wovoka- the supposed creator of the Ghost dance. He’s a complex and fascinating figure, caught between the vanishing of his lifestyle and his fervent belief of a return to a pre colonial state of America. At the time I didn’t completely understand it’s implications, but the character stayed with me, so much that later in art school I created an artwork on his dance, the disappearance of the buffalo and the spirits of the ancestors he invoked. There’s also a tragically beautiful song by the Native American band Redbone called Wovoka- I recommend it if anyone has an interest. I’d love to share it with you but don’t really know how. If you’re interested in it, I’d love to send it to you, even though it’s only partially related to Sitting bulls story. Thank you for this important series, we need more education on Native American history and the disaster on world cultures and peoples that has been western colonialism.

Wounded Knee was botched by both sides in many ways. The 7th Cavalry was not "vengeful"... Most of the soldiers of the 7th in 1890 had not even hit puberty when Custer and five of his troops were lost... And more than a few of the surviving officers were not big Custer fans. The conduct of the troop commander was initially humane and courteous, but both sides blundered. When the Indians opened fire with hidden weapons, the (almost entirely) green troops panicked and shot at everything that moved. More than one third of the soldiers killed had been hit by fire in the back from their own supporting arms. A brief battle turned into a ghastly massacre. The Army was responsible for many of the mistakes made...but the Indians blundered into their own mistakes. YP
