Ghost Dance

Japanese: ゴースト・ダンス(英語表記)Ghost Dance
Ghost Dance
A religious movement that arose among American Indians in the 19th century. At the time, Indians were socially, economically, and politically oppressed by white people. In 1869, an Indian prophet appeared and said that the dead would return to this world, drive the white people out of Indian land, and create a world of bliss. He then said that the dead would arrive when people were immersed in a dance (ghost dance) taught to them by the dead, and enthusiastic dancing was performed in various places. The movement soon died down, but in 1889, another prophet appeared and encouraged the ghost dance, and the movement spread to other places.

19世紀にアメリカ・インディアンの間で起こった宗教運動。当時,インディアンは白人によって,社会的・経済的・政治的に抑圧されていた。1869年にインディアンの予言者が現れ,死者がこの世に戻って来て,白人をインディアンの土地から追い出し,至福の世界を創造してくれると告げた。次いで,死者から教わった踊り(ゴースト・ダンス)に没頭するときに死者が到来すると告げられ,各地で熱狂的に踊りが行われた。すぐに下火となったが,89年に再び別の予言者が現れ,ゴースト・ダンスを奨励し,運動の火が各地に広がった。
