Reading Response 11

For this response, read the short piece about Wovoka titled: Wovoka’s Message: The Promise of the Ghost Dance – https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-west/wovokas-messageThen the sources in chapter 5 in Uncovering Nevada’s Past (Nineteenth Century Social History). In 250-500 words, tell me what you think these readings say about the status of people who challenged the social and political structure of late nineteenth century America. Was there much support or sympathy for people who did not fit into the cultural norms of the period?
