2009 WINTER "WEVOKA'S VISION" PONY RETIRED

WEVOKA'S VISION


1E

It began with a solar eclipse on January 1, 1889: A Paiute medicine man named Wovoka had a vision that turned into a movement known as the Ghost Dance. Wovoka's dream centered on a ceremony he believed would reunite the living with the loved ones in the ghost world, replenish the buffalo and, ultimately, restore the world to its original beauty. In his memory, and as a tribute to this important chapter in American Indian history, Virginia artist Devon Archer has created a Painted Pony inspired by the colors and symbols found on traditional Ghost Dance shirts and dresses.
