This is a photo of several Paiute sub chiefs standing around spiritual leader Wovoka aka: Jack Wilson (1856-1932) of Yerington, Nevada. Back in 1890, Wovoka had a vision that the white man would be wiped from the face of the earth. This began the "Ghost Dance," a phenomena that would sweep the American Indian world and end in tragedy for Lakota Medicine Man Sitting Bull. This photograph measures 18"x 28", is framed and triple-matted. The matting has been artfully carved for added aesthetic interest. Ready for hanging. This is from the Tahoe Wovoka Estate Collection.
