  2. @PariaSansPortefeuille "During the late 1880s—disarmed, hungry, horseless, confined to concentration camps, the #buffalo nearly exterminated, their land broken up and taken, and their children stolen from them—a new political movement spread like prairie fire across the West, promising Indigenous rebirth. #Wovoka, a #Paiute holy man, had a vision that assured the restoration of #IndigenousPeoples to their rightful place in a world taken from them. According to him, dead relatives and the buffalo nations would once again walk the earth. The #GhostDance prophecy envisioned the end of the present world through the #settlers’ erasure from the earth, and the return of human and nonhuman relations that had been vanquished by #colonialism. It was foretold that, at some unspecified time in the near future, a cataclysmic event—such as an earthquake or whirlwind—would wipe the United States off the surface of the earth. Once the land was cleansed, life would be free of disease and colonialism, and correct relations among human and nonhuman worlds would be restored."
