Daniel F. Royer of the Pine Range Agency has great concern that the Ghost Dancers are militant.

A quick Google glance would make you believe that perhaps they are militant but that feels vague and this "concern" is also of unknown nature.

Take heed this message from a local schoolteacher: Dr. Royer, Little Wound and a number of people from Yellow Bear Camp have commenced dancing on this creek this morning, November 20, and if I am allowed to express my opinion, I think that he will continue to dance until he is stopped by force. He is a very obstinate man…of ungovernable temper, and he is carried away with the dance craze, seeming to believe firmly the absurd doctrines which are preached at these dances.… The dancers are those that did not sign the Indian bill [to cede part of the Great Sioux Reservation], and in fact they seem to be always in some trouble. They are continually finding fault with the agent, the government and everything pertaining to civilization, and I think that this has become more noticeable since the Sioux Commission successfully accomplished their object in passing the Sioux bill.
It is a positive fact that the Indian dancers are well armed and have plenty of ammunition, and my opinion is that they have been preparing for trouble some time. Indians whom I have talked to have told me that they would all fight if it became necessary, and they seemed to think that the Great Spirit will assist them so that they can easily overcome the whites.

> According to the teachings of the Northern Paiute spiritual leader Wovoka (renamed Jack Wilson), proper practice of the dance would reunite the living with spirits of the dead, bring the spirits to fight on their behalf, end American Westward expansion, and bring peace, prosperity, and unity to Native American peoples throughout the region
Seems dangerous.

Kevin Bacon brought ruination to that town. The movie did not show it, but it is now full of single underage mothers and meth
