Original 1894 Recording of a Comanche Ghost Dance Chant done by James Mooney.James Mooney (born Feb. 10, 1861, Richmond, Ind., U.S.—died Dec. 22, 1921, Washington, D.C.) was an early U.S. ethnographer of American Indians, especially those of the southeastern United States. His investigations of the history, heraldry, and culture of the Cherokee and Kiowa included the deciphering of the Kiowa calendar and the discovery of an ancient ritual of the North Carolina Cherokee recorded in the native script. His most acclaimed work was The Siouan Tribes of the East (1894). His monograph, The Ghost-Dance Religion and the Sioux Outbreak of 1890 (1896), was the first full-scale study of a nativist religion arising out of a cultural crisis. More videos to come on the Ghost Dance War and why it happened ! I've found the culture and history of the native Americans fascinating ever since I was a small child. Having some Mohawk/Lenepe blood flowing through my veins gives me even more of a heart for my distant ancestors' real story. I hope to explore the history of the Ghost Dance with you in a more in depth fashion soon !
