Ghost Dance is John Norman's 1970 historical fiction novel wherein a Sioux man and his tradition comes into conflict with a white woman and her civilization as the Wounded Knee Massacre approaches.

As with his Gor series, his main body of work, Norman displays both philosophical reaction and an affinity with incorporating historical events into the plotlines of fictional characters.

"There was little noticeable, little remarkable about Edward Chance, saving perhaps that he had once shot and killed a man....His craft, medicine, was more than a business with him, more than a professional skill.

Clashes with the white man are rising; the Wounded Knee Massacre approaches, still in the unknown distance; and violence and anger threaten the traditions of a proud and once-great people.

With Ghost Dance, author John Norman brings the same vigor and passion of storytelling and imagination that enriches his classic Gor novels to a vivid story of historical upheaval and personal exploration.
