Made into a film, not very good...

certain tribe?  rebel? Hmmmm.  The ghost dance was a ritual dance which
was supposed to get rid of the white man completely, its followers were
basically
going to dance until that happened.  It gained momentimum,  spread throughout
reservations in the remnants of indian tribes in the great plains, until it
was brutally quelled
by the U.S. army (did they actually fear something?), it's leaders
imprisoned or killed...
It is viewed as a classic response by a society facing annihilation, I
remember it from
a sociology class. I think there was another song by 'Simple Minds' on the
same topic...
