The people believed that Indian dead would
be brought back to life, that the white man would disappear by
means of natural calamities, and life would return to the way it
had been before the outsiders came.
The ceremony of this new religion took the form of a dance that
was usually performed over several consecutive nights, in the
belief that eventually the earth would open and swallow up the
white race.
