The picture 'just holding hands and praying' is a reference to the Ghostdance movement that was misunderstood by so many and was misrepresented by news writers of the day. There was much evidence of fear and mistrust generated by sensationalistic reporting of this sacred practice - one can only imagine it must have been a surprise to those who participated in this peaceful circle of prayer, that there were those who thought they must have been holding guns and preparing for war, hence the title, 'just holding hands and praying'.
One has to wonder at the broader lessons this holds for us as part of the human race, how much fear and mistrust can be generated when we simply do not have enough information to have a clear vision or take the time to gain an understanding of our neighbor.
Thank you for asking.
