Wovoka, of the Paiute people, has a vision of the Ghost Dance, a dance that would bring about harmony with settlers. In his vision he hears: "You might not fight. Do no harm to anyone. Do right always." The dance spreads across Native communities, who turn away from white schools, farms, and work, and recenter traditional practices.

This will be met with an increase in "Anti-Indian" sentiment and fear in settler communities, leading to the assassination of Sitting Bull and the Battle of Wounded Knee.
