Historical SummaryIn this form the teaching corresponded with and was apparently a reflection of Christian doctrine, but the delegations reported also his prediction of an early transformation of the earth, a restoration of game, and a"general resurrection of the dead in favor of the Indians." One of the best reports of the doctrine as circulated among the Indians was conveyed to a government official by a Paiute:
[Wovoka says] all Indians must dance, everywhere, keep on dancing. Pretty soon in next spring Big Man [Great Spirit] come. He bring back all game of every kind. The game be thick everywhere. All dead Indians come back and live again. They all be strong just like young men, be young again. Old blind Indian see again and get young and have fine time. When Old Man [God] comes this way, then all the Indians go to mountains, high up away from whites. Whites can’t hurt Indians then. Then while Indians way up high, big flood comes like water and all white people die, get drowned. After that water go way and then nobody but Indians everywhere and game all kinds thick. Then medicine man tell Indians to send word to all Indians to keep up dancing and the good time will come. Indians who don’t dance, who
don’t believe in this word, will grow little, just about a foot high, and stay that way. Some of them will be turned into wood and be burned in fire.1
