He seemed to hypnotize them. The word that Wo-vo-ka was the Messiah and could perform miracles spread through the Pai-Utes of Nevada and the Utes of Utah; it crossed the Sierra Nevada Mountains into California on the west, and the Rocky Mountains into Wyoming on the east; and it kept going, east and north and south.
All the buffalo would act this way, in the happy time to come. The day of buffalo herds on the plains was past; but the party asserted that they did find a herd, and killed one buffalo and he sprang up, from the hoofs and tail and head, just as the Messiah had promised. The Cheyennes, the Shoshonis, the Arapahos, the Kiowas, the Utes, the Pai-Utes, were dancing the Ghost Dance.
From here the Bannocks guided them onward, by train and by wagon, until at last they reached the country of the Fish-eaters, or Pai-Utes, at Pyramid Lake in western Nevada! The Pyramid Lake Fish-eaters sent them south, to Walker Lake of the Pai-Utes. Here they met the Christ, listened to his talk, danced the sacred dances, and felt that everything was true.
He had worked on ranches near the Walker Lake reservation, until, when he was about thirty years old, while sick with a fever he went into a trance, during an eclipse of the sun. On waking up, he said that he had been to heaven, had visited God and the spirits, and had received command to preach a new gospel. The Pai-Utes were glad to believe whatever he claimed for himself.
