The Mormons sent emissaries to the Indians, whom he renamed the Lamanites, inviting them to join the Mormon colonies and to be baptized. Joseph Smith was also to have prophesied in 1843 that if he... lived until 1890—the messiah would appear in human form.... It was in 1890 that... Wovoka appeared and began teaching the [revitalized] Ghost Dance religion.
