Tell a Friend
The 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee is remembered through poetry, art, and the haunting beauty of the Dakota landscape. Ghost Dance documents a pivotal event in American history and features the work of some of America's finest poets and Lakota artists. Ideal for the study of art, literature, and Native American culture.
A wonderful blend of poetry and art and clear vision.

Ghost Dance is a rare video. It touches the soul through its artistry and offers a heightened understanding of a sad event in American history.

Masterful...This sensitivity constructed short suggests that the South Dakota landscape echoes with the names of those who died in 1890.
