WOVOKA THE INDIAN CHRIST By: Dorothy M. Johnson Friends, the great news - too stunning to believe at first - came to the Sioux. The Son of God was walking the Earth! Soon, Indians who had gone to the great forever would return and hunt side by side with their Indian comrades for great herds of buffalo which had been resurrected to supply the Indians. Wovoka, the Messiah had so forecasted and spread the word that sacred Indian shirts would make the warriors invincible and would shield the soldier’s bullets. For the Sioux Indians, he was their last hope. For the whites, he was a threat. Sadly, the Indians realized to late that Wovoka words were hollow. Three hundred hundred-weakened Indians died the day of the battle – two-thirds of them women and children. For the Sioux Indians, the hope promised by the Ghost Dance was shattered. Their lost kinsman would not, after all, return to life and come riding across the prairie driving the great herds of buffalo. It was over.
