Indeed he declares that it might be con-
tinued indefinitely, as the dance still
exists and is developing new features
at every performance.
The first visit Of about four months
was made to the Arapalo, Cheyenne,
kioWa, Comanche, Apache, Caddo and
Wichita, all living together in what
was then Indian Territory. These
tribes were all more or less under the
Influence Of the new religion. The
principal study was made among the
Arapaho, who were among the most
active propagators of the Messiah doc
&trine among the southern tribes, and
are especially friendly and cordial in
disposition. Another trip lasting three
months was made among the Kiawas,
and third for the purpose Of investi-
eating the dance among the Sioux,
where it attracted most attention, and.
among the Paiute, where it originated.
On this journey, the author visited the
Omaha, Winnebago, Sioux Of Pine
Ridge, Paiute, Cheyenne and Arapaho,
met and talked with the Messiah him
self, and afterwards on the strength of
this fact obtained from the Cheyenne
the original letter containing his mes
sage and instruction to the southern
tribes. The entire investigation occu-
pied twenty-five months and involved
nearly $4,000 miles of travel and more
or less time spent with about twenty
tribes. x 55. s
Mr.. Mooney in his account. OF the
ghost dance religion proper prefaces
1T with a discussion Of the primitive
Messiah belief and or the teachings Of
the various Indian prophets who have
preceded Wovoka, the founder Of the
ghost dance cult.
robably every tribe had its early
hero god, who accomplished his work
in the mythic ha1cyon days, and whose
return to resume his kingdom is eag-
erly looked for. Curious1y enough.
this Messiah is usually described as a.
white man with a flowing beard.
The doctrine That the world is old
and worn out, and that the time Of its
renewal is at hand, is an essential parr
of the teachings of the ghost dance.
The number OF these cycles Of destruc-
tion Is variously stated among different
tribes MT. Mooney quotes School

Ninnebago as the most sadly prophet

the tenth generation Of their people

no form of religious revival among the
Indians has SO much influence upon
the red man as the ghost dance The
bureau of ethnology at Washington,
through James Mooney, has for several
years past made special study Of the
ghost dance.
In 1890 Mr. Mooney was preparing to
go to the Indian territory under the
auspices Of the bureau Of ethnology to
continue researches among the Chero-
KEGS when the dance first began to at
tract attention. Heasked and received
permission to investigate the subject
among the wilder tribes of the Terri
tory. Proceeding directly to the Chey-
enne and Arapa aho, it soon became eYi-
dent there was more in the ghost dance
than had been suspected, with the re-
suit that the investigation, to which it
had been intended to devote few
weeks, was extended over three years.
