Meaning of Wovoka - What does the name Wovoka means?
Pronunciation:
wo-vo-kah
Gender: Boy Name
Origin: Native American
Name Meaning: Paiute name borne by the leader of the Ghost Dance religion. He possessed a mystical nature, and during the solar eclipse of January 1, 1888, he fell ill with fever, subsequently experiencing a profound vision. He saw the whites disappearing, the resurrection of all dead natives, and the land returning to the stewardship of the Native American. The new religion unsettled the Anglos and they actively campaigned against it, culminating in the tragic massacre at Wounded Knee. Wovoka was crushed by the tragedy that had grown out of a peaceful religion. In grief, he retired to the Walker River Reservation
