The Ghost Dance
The prophet's own teaching, dictated and published in 1896, was explicitly pacifist. The belief that a ceremonial 'ghost shirt' could stop bullets belonged above all to the Lakota and was not part of the founder's message: Wovoka expressly disclaimed any responsibility for the ghost shirt, which was not worn in his own valley.
