By performing [the ghost dance], people sought to hasten the coming of Wovoka's apocalyptic vision. They sought to reunite themselves with their ancestors, restoring the earth to the fullness of its bounty and resurrecting the ancient values of the Indigenous culture. As news of this dance spread, more delegations of Native people made the long trek to Wovoka's desert valley. They came from over thirty Native nations, including the Cheyenne, Shoshone, Caddo, Kiowa, Lakota, and Arapaho. Each delegation brought its skeptics along with its true believers, for not every Native person who encountered Wovoka believed in his vision. But a great many did, and within a year his Ghost Dance was being carried out from North Dakota to New Mexico. Wovoka's dream had touched a spiritual nerve among the beleaguered people of the Plains. As the pilgrims returned home from their meeting with the prophet, they brought his universal vision to their cultural reality. The mixture of the two began to produce hybrids of the original Ghost Dance, especially among the Lakota.
