The Ghost Dance has become a metaphor for the death of American Indian culture, but as Gregory Smoak argues, it was not the desperate fantasy of a dying people but a powerful expression of a racialized "Indianness." While the Ghost Dance did appeal to supernatural forces to restore power to native peoples, on another level it became a vehicle for the expression of meaningful social identities that crossed ethnic, tribal, and historical boundaries. Looking closely at the Ghost Dances of 1870 and 1890, Smoak constructs a far-reaching, new argument about the formation of ethnic and racial identity among American Indians. He examines the origins of Shoshone and Bannock ethnicity, follows these peoples through a period of declining autonomy vis-a-vis the United States government, and finally puts their experience and the Ghost Dances within the larger context of identity formation and emerging nationalism which marked United States history in the nineteenth century. 606 $aGhost dance$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aShoshoni Indians$xRites and ceremonies 606 $aShoshoni Indians$xReligion 606 $aShoshoni Indians$xEthnic identity 606 $aBannock Indians$xRites and ceremonies 606 $aBannock Indians$xReligion 606 $aBannock Indians$xEthnic identity 610 $a19th century american history. 610 $a19th century native american history. 610 $aamerican indian ghost dance movement. 610 $aamerican indians. 610 $abannocks. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aethnogenesis. 610 $aghost dance. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aidentity. 610 $aindigenous cultures. 610 $aindigenous peoples. 610 $amissionary. 610 $anationalism. 610 $anative american culture. 610 $anative americans. 610 $anative peoples. 610 $anew religion. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aprophets. 610 $arace in america. 610 $areligion. 610 $areservation life. 610 $ashamans. 610 $ashoshones. 610 $asocial identity. 610 $aspiritual. 610 $asupernatural forces. 610 $aunited states government. 610 $aunited states of america. 615 0$aGhost dance$xHistory 615 0$aShoshoni Indians$xRites and ceremonies. 615 0$aShoshoni Indians$xReligion. 615 0$aShoshoni Indians$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aBannock Indians$xRites and ceremonies. 615 0$aBannock Indians$xReligion. 615 0$aBannock Indians$xEthnic identity. 676 $a299.7/98/09034 686 $aLC 33610$2rvk 700 $aSmoak$b Gregory E.$f1962-$0878956 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783670703321 996 $aGhost dances and identity$93860656 997 $aUNINA
