While in a coma or dead, he claimed to have met the Christian God and Jesus and received a vision. Indians were to perform a prescribed dance. If they did so faithfully, whites would be swept from the continent, all the ancestors who had died since their coming would be resurrected, the earth would renew itself, and buffalo would again be plentiful. This was the fourth and last in the chain of “raising-up” movements that began with Pontiac and continued with Tecumseh (See Speech of Tenskwatawa and Address to the Osage). The third in the chain was the Ghost Dance of 1870.
