This print titled "ARAPAHO GHOST DANCE, 1891. The Ghost Dance - Larger Circle" transports us back to the early 1890s on the plains of Oklahoma. It captures a significant moment in history as it showcases the Ghost Dance ceremony of Southern Arapaho Native Americans. Painted by Mary Irvin Wright in 1895, based on a photograph taken by James Mooney, this artwork beautifully depicts the rich cultural traditions and daily life of these indigenous people. In this painting, we see a large group of men, women, and children forming a circle as they engage in the sacred Ghost Dance ritual. Their clothing reflects their tribal tradition with vibrant colors and intricate patterns adorning their garments. As spectators watch from afar, shadows cast by the late afternoon sun create an ethereal ambiance around them. The Great Plains serve as a breathtaking backdrop for this ceremony that holds deep spiritual significance for the Arapaho tribe. This image not only preserves an important historical event but also pays homage to Native American culture and heritage. Through this artwork, we are transported to a time when ancient traditions were celebrated amidst changing times.
