WHERE Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota
WHEN Early 1900s
PHOTOGRAPHER Edward S. Curtis
As settlers brought changes, western U.S. Indians in 1890 turned to a doctrin
e called the ghost-dance religion. They danced until they saw visions of their
old way of life renewed and wore ghost shirts that they believed were impervi
ous to bullets. In December 1890 the ghost-dance religion and the Indian Wars
ended at Wounded Knee Creek when soldiers slaughtered 200 Sioux.
American Horse (pictured), an Oglala Sioux chief, fought in these wars and ard
ently pursued fairer treatment by traveling to Washington, D.C., as head of a
Sioux delegation.

Places, 1997
