This portrait is that of Wovoka (1889), a Native American shaman dancer, who created a spell across an entire population of Native Americans: Native Americans collectively danced until they died. The "Ghost Dance" was a protest against the brutality of American governance. This dance alerted authorities and led to even more violence against Native Americans, culminating in the massacre of 170 Lakota Ghost Dancers at Wounded Knee (1890), and then some.

I recently learned that the Redbone track “We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee” was included on the European version of the “Wovoka” album. It was removed from the U.S. version of the album and never released as a single here. It has also never been included on any of their U.S. compilations, but is always included on European releases, such as the excellent “A’s And B’s”, also released by BGO Records. #Redbone #Wovoka #ComeAndGetYourLove #BGORecords #CD

"Come and Get Your Love" is a song by the Mexican-Native American #rock band #Redbone. The song was originally released as a promo track under the name "Hail" and was later featured on their fifth album, #Wovoka (1973), under its current name. The song was released as the album's first single the following year. Written and produced by band members #Pat and #LollyVegas, it is one of the band's most successful singles.

@PariaSansPortefeuille "During the late 1880s—disarmed, hungry, horseless, confined to concentration camps, the #buffalo nearly exterminated, their land broken up and taken, and their children stolen from them—a new political movement spread like prairie fire across the West, promising Indigenous rebirth. #Wovoka, a #Paiute holy man, had a vision that assured the restoration of #IndigenousPeoples to their rightful place in a world taken from them. According to him, dead relatives and the buffalo nations would once again walk the earth. The #GhostDance prophecy envisioned the end of the present world through the #settlers’ erasure from the earth, and the return of human and nonhuman relations that had been vanquished by #colonialism. It was foretold that, at some unspecified time in the near future, a cataclysmic event—such as an earthquake or whirlwind—would wipe the United States off the surface of the earth. Once the land was cleansed, life would be free of disease and colonialism, and correct relations among human and nonhuman worlds would be restored."
