[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 9250641, member: 50895"] Interesting. I was doing more reading on the Ghost Dance, and it seems the spirits of those who die return to speak again to their living relatives, but aren't there in physicial form. The circle dance lasts 5 days, bringing the dancers to ecstasy, at the culmination of the ceremony, they begin to float over the ground, while an earthquake takes on the land and sucks down White Men, their roads, homes and structures into the ground to be swallowed up. Once signs of White Man are gone, the earthquake ends and the natives return to the ground safe and their dead relatives return as new living. A medicine man visits the player characters in a dream state and explain to them what is going on, and invites them to join their Ghost Dance. Perhaps a local debaucherous town of miscreants and outlaws under the governance of a local mining baron, harrasses the local native population, as the Ghost Dance movement reaches that tribe. Rather than the PCs fighting against the native Ghost Dancers, they join the dance to defeat the local baron and the town of debauchery - in this way the players help the Ghost Dance rather than fight it... thoughts? This way native beliefs are honored, rather than made into a misunderstood situation. [/QUOTE]
