The Ghost Dance in Northwestern California

They took the boards from graves in cemeteries to help the dead come back. If a person tried to come to life and the grave boards were still there, he would turn to stone instead. All the graves in Kootep and Wohtek were uncovered. Everyone killed his dog because the dead don’t like dogs and would turn to stone or tree if they saw dogs. They tied stones around their necks and threw them in the river. People put bas- kets of acorn soup at a distance from the dancing place to feed the dead. They thought the dead were all around and were hungry.” – Robert Spott,

This account is a partial description of the impact of the so-called “Ghost Dance” of the 1870s that prophesized an apocalyptic period of flood and earthquake, the destruction of the white people, and the ad- vent of a paradise in which the Indian dead would return to life in a restored land and Indian way of life. The dance began with the “dream” of Paiute founding prophet Wodziwob, but was quickly spread by a myriad of “dreamers” through a northern diffusion (Modoc, Klamath, Shasta, Karok, Siletz, , and Yurok), and alternately through a second central route (, Witun, Yana, , Yuki). As quoted in “The 1870 Ghost Dance” Wodziwob went into a trance, during which he learned that the “Supreme Ruler…was then on his way with all the spirits of the departed dead to again reside upon this earth and change it into a para- dise. Life was to be eternal and no distinction was to exist between races” (Du Bois 2007:7). Wodziwob’s prophecy came after two years of epidemics, severe drought and starvation, and broken promises of govern- ment aid.

The Ghost Dance was characterized by a vision or dream (similar to the acquisition of shamanic power), in which the dreamer was visited by the spirits of dead relatives, and received songs and dances. “The dead would return if the dance were made. The world was to turn over and end. The doctrine concerning the fate of living varied: all would perish, all would live, only the believers would live, skeptics would be turned to rocks.” Dances were typically made in concentric circles, which revolved alternately in opposite direc- tions. The dancers looked down, and danced until one went crazy – “the craziness made people see the dead and talk to them.” In this way the dead would come back to life.

Whether the Wiyot were influenced by this messianic fervor is a matter of conjecture – by the 1870s many had been relocated to areas outside their homeland, a situation that may reinforce their contact with the Yurok Ghost Dance experience. The Wiyot had also established obsidian trade connecting them with Achomawi and Shasta peoples. Intermarriage between the tribes likely contributed to Wiyot experience of the Ghost Dance. However, the southern influence put forth by anthropologist Cora Du Bois is suspect since the Wiyot were not on friendly terms with and Sinkyone tribes.

What is documented is the impact of the Ghost Dance in Northwestern California in the 1870s. Rooted in tragedy and massacre (the loss of this indigenous population between 1850 and 1910 averaged 86 per- cent), the Ghost Dance can be viewed as non violent response to cultural crisis and destruction. According to historian James Rawls, “in the 1870s only scattered remnants of the aboriginal populations were still alive, and those who had survived the maelstrom of the preceding quarter century were dislocated, demoralized,

Wiyot News Page 5 ...Cultural from the Ground Up and impoverished…The ghost dance won converts among those tribes who had suffered most from the catastrophic events of the gold rush.”

The expression of the Ghost Dance varied among tribes, as did its acceptance. The Shasta embraced the dance and ab- sorbed aspects of it into traditional shamanic practices. Among the Yurok, the cult found favor among the young and most impoverished, but was subsequently rejected as antagonistic to established ways of caring for the dead. The movement failed altogether in the Hupa Valley, where traditional formalized re- ligion maintained a powerful influence.

The schism created among the Yurok is described by this story told by Robert Spott. In his account, a prophet from Kootep held a Ghost Dance in his own house to replace the traditional White Deerskin Dance, saying “At one time Deer Skin was a good dance, a religious dance, but now let us put it away. Now we are going to have a new dance, and all must join in. How glad we shall be to see our mother, daughters, brothers. We shall be happier.” Most of the people yelled, “No, you just upset the earth. There is no such thing.” The old people said, “Creator made all, and it has been handed down from generation to generation that a dead person is buried and dead. Everyone puts lots of rocks on him to hold him down. If a dead person ever comes back, he is going to kill all the live ones. That isn’t our word, but the word of the Creator that our old people have told us.”

The Ghost Dance flourished but briefly, its practice fading dra- matically by 1877. The failure of his prophesies prompted Wodzi- wob to tell the Paiute that he no longer believed in his dream, and stated that he “visited the land of the dead in order to meet with the departed souls of the dead. All that he saw was their shadows and one owl. He called out to the shadows but they did not answer. The owl meanwhile blinked at him” (Hittman 1973:269). Yet the 1870 Ghost Dance formed the background for successive religious practices, stimulating indigenous religious improvisation and syncre- tism, and transitioning to the Indian Shaker Church and Pentecostal revivalism.
