Question 3 • OK-US History-Sem A-CR - 37454A

Which statement best explains why the Ghost Dance movement gained popularity among the Sioux?

Answer
A
It offered hope to Sioux people demoralized by life on the reservation.
B
It attracted Indigenous peoples from across the West to join in an alliance.
C
The movement promoted peaceful assimilation into White society.
D
Crazy Horse personally testified about the power of the dance.

Explanation

The Ghost Dance spread among the Sioux because it offered spiritual hope during a time of hardship, loss of land, and restricted life on reservations. Its teachings promised renewal and the restoration of a better way of life, which appealed to people who felt demoralized. It was not a movement for assimilation into White society, and Crazy Horse had died before the movement became popular.
