5. The Western Native Americans  After the Civil War, the US government took steps to put an end to Indian resistance that stood in the way of western development.  Focus moved to tribes of the Plains, Southwest, and Far West.  Land was lost to the US government through military campaign and broken treaties.

6. The Ghost Dance Movement  Ghost Dance religion was founded by a prophet, Wovoka, (Northern Paiute Tribe (Nevada)).  Believers were convinced that they could peacefully end white expansion and restore their traditional way of life by following certain rituals, particularly a ceremonial dance.  In the late 1880s, the movement spread across the plains.  The US government viewed the Ghost Dance as a serious threat.  In 1890, following the killing of Sitting Bull, one of the movement’s leaders, the government ordered troops to move on the Ghost Dancers. This led to the slaughter of hundreds of Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee.

7. Group Activity  Select an event, figure, or concept that fits the categories in the Inventory of Key Terms from the video, The Spirit of Crazy Horse.
