Ghost Dance Long Teaser - Film by Dave Swallow a Lakota Medicine Man from Pine Ridge Reservation
This is a long teaser for the Ghost Dance narrative film which is in production and set to be released in 2025.
The Ghost Dance story was conceived by Dave Swallow Jr., a Lakota Medicine Man, Sundance Chief, and one of the Headsmen for the Lakota, Nakota, and Dakota Nations. He lives on Pine Ridge Reservation and is one of the last fluent Lakota language speakers. Dave is dedicated to telling the Ghost Dance story to help raise awareness for the Lakota people and preserve the traditions that are in danger of dying out. The content for Ghost Dance was imagined by Dave and two of his Lakota friends 15 years ago. Now the only elder among the trio of three still alive, Dave’s dream is becoming manifest and every aspect of the project is determined and driven by Dave.
The Ghost Dance project is uniquely aligned to support the preservation, promotion and advancement of Native American culture, education, and development of Native American Entrepreneurism. Ghost Dance is an interactive educational program designed for film festivals, schools, universities, and museums. The world is at risk of losing the connection to precious Indigenous wisdom as tribal elders leave us. Global Peace Train (GPT - a nonprofit organization) and Tribal Traditions (a GPT brand) are positioned to help build a digital library of such content before it is too late.

    Ghosts aren't real. Also this says "The world is at risk of losing the connection to precious Indigenous wisdom".. Indians have not been winners in America. How did their "wisdom" help them in the 1800s? For that matter, how is their wisdom helping them now? All they seem to do is complain about everything.

    So many distortions of genuine prophecies and ways...in every culture. The Darkness has misled man, so that most of them imperceptibly run towards the abyss of eternal destruction. Long time since I researched the Ghost Dance, but I know it was said in one book that I have that a wise spirit would return, who had once greeted the Plains Natives around 1000 AD, when he went there as a spiritual Viking warrior. He imparted news of the Great Spirit, the Great Mystery...and the Messiah. And then he returned to the eternal gardens...but when he saw the degradation and decimation of the indigenous tribes...it caused him great pain...and so he asked to return one last time to these people that he loved...before the Last Judgment came to pass over the face of the Earth. And so he came...one last time, to instil a sense of the old ways, that could elevate the spirituality of these tribes...so that one day...the old ways would return...when the world had been transformed by the power of a great star sent by the Great Spirit... then the best of the people could complete their development...and return to the eternal planes in Paradise...and live forever more!

      @@tribaltraditionsgpt I agree with you, yes, we need balance. Balance can only come when each and every man surrenders to the Voice of the Spirit, and does the 'right' thing. The only issue I have with traditional teachings is...are they pure. All would have meant to be pure and for the benefit of the people when they were given, but were they received purely, and was the truth of their inherent teachings maintained down the generations? Not easy. So our search is always for TRUTH. Only then, when we are truthful, does a retroactive energy come to men and the earth. for so as we sow, so must we reap. Thus a healthy heartbeat would have ensued if all men were good, and this would have by now reached the feet of the Great Spirit, Who lives at the Summit of Creation, as its King, and as the Alpha and Mega. This energy would have contained the feelings of joy of all those who benefited from living aright, whereby they would feel happy, and at peace within. There are many chains of helpers from this Summit of Creation that pass on these powerful energies, and from time to time they send wisdom and warnings...as they can see the fate of man very early from when they begin to make wrong moves. Thus, it was seen long ago that much of men could not be saved. This was despite abundant help from light sources around the globe, much of which was countered in the beyond and on the earth by dark and evil influences. That is another story! The result was that even when good tidings were passed on to certain tribes and peoples, the darkness found a way to distort their ways and stories. I cannot go into all of it here, but I shall bring extensive details when I come to the Lakota in 2028...on the cusp of the last great war. I was Lakota myself once during the last days of freedom upon the wild prairies. The main reason for the cunning lies was to steer man away from the Light, away from the ways of the Great Mystery and Great Spirit...and thereby lead men into the abyss...that brings eternal death. Our right is for eternal life...on higher creation planes, free from the temporal worlds, but we must earn this right through good living. And good living requires the necessity of truthful knowledge...only that leads men upwards. If men had remained faithful to the Light and Truth Itself, the knowledge they had of spiritual laws, and of the Nature Beings...would have been added to...instead, the Darkness managed to twist the relationship of men with the Nature Beings...whereby men now were steered away from Truth into an abyss of lies. This was bound to bring greater imbalances, leading to men's final destruction, and the likely death of the planet. The Prophecy is a warning because it shows that man's lust for the woman was the main threat to his existence, for this allure became an attachment, leading to other attachments...all binding the spirit of men to the earth...through the growing need for sex, symbiotic relationships, alcohol, drugs, clothes, riches, and so on...whilst the development of man's intellect was exacerbated by these forms of stimulation, as it is linked to the physical instincts of the body. This imbalance within man's physiology led to an oversized intellect, or cerebrum, and an under-developed cerebellum...this being linked to the soul of each person via the solar plexus. Thus...man's intuition and spirit waned in power...and so the imbalance within his head, was reflected by imbalance on earth. No longer did men have guidance, or rarely. Before the white man came to Turtle Island, most men listened to their intuition, and the Voice of the Spirit...but when the white man came...we called his ways the ways of the white man, but really they were the ways of the intellect. Both the men of the spirit and the men of the intellect were completely different, and there could be no in-between way of living. This is why the red man was warned to partake of his ways, nor to cede him any land. Many current leaders are men of intellect, mostly empty of genuine feelings, compassion, and wisdom. This is why I believe the ghost dance was created...to remind the indigenous spirits of former prophecies...and their promises to retain the ways of the spirit. Who knows where these people are now...the book of the Return of the Bird Tribes suggests that many would go on to help in other nations, so it is not always easy to discern who are those spirits who walked the prairies long ago. If their spirits were open though, they will oft be involved in some kind of paganism, or eco cultures. The book is called Generational Times Unveiled...and this contains 3 stories from the times of 3 different indigenous peoples...all of who belonged to the light. One of these stories is about the Plains people, most of which initially began around the Crow, the Arikara...as their ways spread across Turtle Island, inspired by a Viking. At this time, the Vikings were part Christian, but still held strong pagan beliefs...hence they were truthful. And so the pagans of the tribes would understand easily these ways he explained, which are described in the Book. After many battles with Christians in Europe, the King of the Nature Spirits on Olympus, which is the land where their leaders live...he ordered the Germanic and Viking people that no more blood was to be shed...and so white Christianity took over in Europe, and not longer after, it was sent to many shores...to support and accompany the many robbers and criminals who were part of the white man's plunder of others' lands...including Turtle Island. It was an absolute travesty; and the defeat of the pagans in Europe, and the invasion of Turtle Islands...were the main two last earthly defeats in the Battle between light and darkness...for the help and knowledge of the Nature Spirits was near eliminated...and with this one broad stroke, many people lost contact with the Light too...which will now result in their death. The Ghost Dance was I sense a means to counter the spiritual death of humanity, and I shall research it more before I come in 2028. Hope the book helps in the meantime, and may I wish you well in your important work. I was of the Crazy Horse tribe by the way, like Mr Swallow! May the light bless your work, for there is little time left, and I was shown in 2012 that N Korea would nuke the US, and I knew of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in advance. I don't look for these things, they just come to me...out of the blue. I sense that Sept 2028 and Spring 2033 are linked to the coming wars...eventually WW3, so the end is nigh for many, hence the importance of any spiritual work now is manifold in comparison to former yrs. Once this time of the Apocalypse begins, it will go fast until its end some 30 yrs, or so, later. Perhaps I could attend a Sun Dance at Bear Butte in 2028? And bring any revelations with me. That place feels like a home from home for me, still. All the very, very best.

      @@tribaltraditionsgpt I have just skimmed the story, and it is only at the end that the man linked to the ghost dance is mentioned. The ghost dance is not specifically described, but it speaks of the reincarnation of Wis-eh...although the only person it could be is Wovoka...THEY MUST BE THE SAME...the original book is German, and there are a few errors in the translation. However, this was his original name that superseded his Viking name. I think he did not need to reincarnate again after that life in around 1000 AD, but he asked to do so when he saw the plight of his red brothers. There are a few other well-known characters stated too within the true story, with real extracts from native history. It is some time since I researched this, but I shall when I am well, and I have dealt with some important matters over the next 3-4 years. Then, I shall be freed up to write, and hopefully film a series of books, one of which will be based upon the native Indians, although several could be written, let's see what the Great Spirit wants. The book affirms that the aforementioned character saw the King of Creation, the Great Spirit, in his Temple...and He was told that He was coming for the Judgment of men. I sense the ghost dance must have been associated to the promise of the removal of the white race, a return of the abundances of the Temple of God that existed before the white man desecrated it. What else he said I do not know...but I would imagine he would have talked about the coming catastrophes and world wars, and the possibility for resurrection of the spirit. The raising of the dead may coincide with similar promises in the bible, but these have been mistakenly interpreted and spread abroad. A Great Star that will appear on the scene at around 2038 is already affecting the earth and its populus, as it contains great powers from the summit of creation. This is acting akin to a gigantic healing hand, bombarding us all, so that all that we carry within is coming alive. This will drive some people to good...and other to destruction, depending on the state of their souls, their karmic threads, and how they react to coming tragic events. I am one of a small no of carriers of a sacred message, the mast message to mankind, and it contains details similar to Wis-eh's ghost dance prophecy. I am also connected to the personal prophecy of Crazy Horse, and the life and times of Tecumseh. At some pt I am to draw these histories together for the benefit of seeking spirits. Hence, since a child I always knew that I had to come to one, or a few tribes, in relation to the Apocalypse that I was shown in visions. It cannot be evaded now...too late, too far down the road. Each person can change his future though by recognising the creation laws, and abiding by them, thereby serving the light. I have said a lot, so I need to end it here; but enjoy the book, it is both enlightening and beautiful. I am keeping a short list of people that I shall contact near my visit in 2028, for in Sept something big happens; is it N Korea nuking the US...maybe. I shall know more nearer the time, but check out your film, and websites, and if it feels right, let you know I am coming to the US. I should be coming with my female companion, let's see how it goes. All I can say is that the time of the Prophecies is almost upon us...and few people are truly prepared for what is to come. Perhaps nothing can prepare us for this! Stay safe and strong...and please send on my thanks to Mr Swallow. The work you are doing looks really good. Aho!

      @@tribaltraditionsgpt PART 1:Thanks for that. Yes, many books were written in German first of all, as they were a Called people, much like the IsraeIites, but both of them failed. One book recommended to me for the beyond was the 'Wanderer in Spirit', and can easily be found on Amazon etc. It's just over 100 pages, so not so long. I would like to keep in touch, perhaps some kind of unified work lies ahead, or simply an exchange of info. I shall need help when I come over in 2028, when something big happens in the Sept...it could be against the US, but I need to be closer to the event. The other Book I mentioned is called Generational Times Unveiled...and it covers 3 tribal stories...and their spiritual developments over a certain time period. It includes the Celts before and after the Romans came, an African tribe, and some of the Plains people in the US. It can be bought on Lulu.com. The beyond needs to be understood better, as it helps improve and steer our current living, as then we know then the purpose for life itself, and how to prepare for the afterlife, and further reincarnations. I have books on greater themes and I can bring them with me in 2028 when I am a little better...for due to hatred I have been suffering with ME/CFS...a lifelong issue since childhood amidst struggles within my family...all a learning process whereby I was able to slowly and surely discern between light and darkness. And yes...the collection of books and manuscripts that I have, make for a spiritual new way of life, a programme, although we all had much of the knowledge we needed beforehand, it was just that the darkness had great success during the last 7000 yrs in its attempts to conceal it. It did this by veiling the truth around the Nature Beings, and distorting them into demons and such; whilst it also cast aspersions about Mother Earth and the goddess...whereby mothering was promoted to a sacred act, but to the extent that it ended with many false cults that began to abuse the peoples.
