What did ghost dances wear?

The term "Ghost Dance" refers to a spiritual movement that emerged among several Native American tribes in the late 19th century. The movement was characterized by a belief in a prophesied messiah who would bring about a restoration of the Native American way of life and the return of the dead.

Ghost Dance practitioners engaged in ceremonial dances, but there is no specific mention of any clothing or attire associated with the dances themselves. The dancers typically wore their traditional tribal clothing during these ceremonies, which varied depending on the tribe.
