The Nuche, or Ute people, were one of the first groups to learn of the Ghost Dance teachings, which then spread through Colorado, over the mountains, and onto the plains in an attempt to create spiritual unity between the scattered Native American groups. The dances are performed to activate the movement’s prophecy of a return to traditional Native American ways of life. By that time, most federally recognized tribes in Colorado lived on reservations outside of the state.
Ghost Dances are key ceremonies within a broader Indigenous religious movement that developed in the late nineteenth century in response to the brutal conquest of Native American nations by the US government and white settlers.
