Bole-Maru dream religion

From about 1872 the 1870 Ghost Dance merged with older Kuksu ceremonies among the Patwin, Pomo and neighbours into the Bole-Maru, a religion led by dreamers who received songs, dances and rules for living.

The account

Dreamers, many of them women, taught abstinence from alcohol and the coming of an end to the old world. Bole-Maru roundhouses are still used.
