Description: You are bidding on a rare set of two large original black & white pictures of Wovoka also known as Jack Wilson. The pictures measure approximately 10 inches by 8 inches. Wovoka was a Paiute religious leader that founded the Ghost dance movement. Spiritual leader and creator the Ghost dance. Paiutes believed he could control weather as well. It is believed that Wovoka was disheartened by how events unfolded at the massacre a wounded Knee but still remained a prominent Native American leader. Sometime between 1894 and 1896, he was reported to have been a sideshow attraction at a San Francisco Midwinter Fair Carnival. I believe these photographs are from that period. Part of an old estate with Indian artifacts. Please review pictures and feel free to ask questions. I ship worldwide. Professional shipping guarantees swift and safe delivery to your door.

The movement was founded by Wovoka, a shaman who had a vision during a solar eclipse. Wovoka's vision led him to believe that God had appeared to him as a Native American and told him to teach a new dance and message. The Ghost Dance ceremony involved a communal circle dance and was intended to reunite the spirits of the dead with the living
