Wovoka
He was one of the originators of the Arapaho Ghost Dance
his name in English meant "Open Door." I am pretty sure that
his people walked from "Harappa" to the United States, where
they are still known as the "Arapaho" Indians. Numbering among
many, a resilient tribe.
Wovoka was a native man born mid 1800s who became one of the last Native American messiahs created by the Great Houses' "Open Door" Native genius techniques. (jutsu)
While cutting pine trees in the mountains of North America's great Southwest, legend states he "had a vision" that led to the Ghost Dance...a feared and misunderstood ritual of communion with the recently massacred.

Wovoka Gentle are Imogen Mason, Ellie Mason and William J. Stokes.
“Wovoka Gentle is a constantly evolving project. Our roots are in traditional soil - we love the structure and soundscape in folk songs - but we wanted to work from those foundations to develop a new vocabulary, a new kind of songwriting."
Having formed in the summer of 2014, the band wrote and performed the score for avant-garde physical theatre company Stasis' production A Table, directed by Aniela Piasecka, and went on to provide music for the world premiere of Alex Howarth’s stage adaptation of What's Eating Gilbert Grape at London’s Bridewell Theatre. Informed by such collaborations as these, the use of performance art, installations and projected visuals has made its way to the heart of Wovoka Gentle’s live shows.

Wovoka had had a vision in the year 1889 that he was a messenger for the Indian people to tell them that the Messiah was in the world. Wovoka said the Messiah had come to the earth and that the Indian people were to get ready for the age promised to them for thousands of years that was about to be born. Wovoka saw the future and saw a world where all the people would live together in peace and harmony and the Indian people would be able to live and be happy once again, not like they were at the present time; being herded into numerous reservations, having their land stolen from them and made to take government handouts to feed their families. Wovoka had them dance the Ghost Dance to begin to bring the different tribes together. Tribes that had been enemies and warring against one another were brought together in one common faith of the coming of this great age of peace that the Messiah was to bring.
Return of Jesus? the Second Coming of Christ?
How could this be possible?
"Wherever one or more are gathered in My name, there I am also."
Matthew 18: 20 But more importantly, "Jesus" was speaking in the present tense, 2, 000 years ago.
So why is a second coming necessary...for someone who is Already Here?
But perhaps, the honest Native American, first being introduced to this gospel, simply percieved the presence of that loving and Great Spirit, and saw that it was present, wherever some gathered in its' sincere spirit, as the scriptural reference suggested two thousand years ago. So talk of destruction associated with a "second coming" was simply a LIE spread by the same Roman militarism that went on to subjugate the Greeks and...well, many cultures were subjugated by the Holy Roman Empire. Anyone honestly looking at the historical situation can see the dishonesty in Roman militarism, so different from that Holy Spirit of love and forgiveness Himself...
