In the 1890s, growing frustration and resentment among the Plains Indians led to American Indians joining the Ghost Dance movement.

Explanation:

The Ghost Dance was a religious movement among the Plains Indians and other Native American groups in the 1890s. It was an attempt on the part of the Native American cultures in the Western United States to recapture some of their lost spirituality and revitalize their beliefs as they faced even hight levels of encroachment from White Americans. The movement is said to have originated with Wovoka, a shaman of the Paiute tribe of Nevada. He had a vision in 1889 of the spirits of the dead reuniting with the living to throw off the white settlers and restore balance to the lands by returning the buffalo and other aspects of the landscape that were being altered by the White settlers.
