Wovoka was born in the Smith Valley area southeast of Carson City, Nevada around 1856. Quoitze Ow was his birth name. [4] Wovoka's father was Numu-tibo'o (sometimes called Tavibo), who for several decades was incorrectly believed to be Wodziwob, a religious leader who had founded the Ghost Dance of 1870. [5]
Numu-tibo'o was the father of Wovoka, who re-introduced his version of the Ghost Dance in 1890. It is Wovoka's message and leadership that gained popularity, followers, and which is largely meant when modern people refer to "the Ghost Dance". [8]
The Ghost Dance was also investigated by many Mormons from Utah, for whom the concepts of the Indian prophet were familiar and often accepted. [19] While many followers of the Ghost Dance believed Wovoka to be a teacher of pacifism and peace, others did not. An Arapaho buckskin ghost shirt, ca 1890

In this vision, he was taken up to heaven and given a dance (the Ghost Dance) to pass on to the Indians to ensure their place in heaven. [17] Wovoka's religion was heavily influenced by Christianity.
