The purpose of this article is to point out that the Indian prophetic movements enabled the American Indians to reassert their Native identity. It will be demonstrated that Christianity was a form of acculturation through which the Natives succeeded in resisting white encroachment and Christian proselytizing. Finally, several similarities prove what the prophetic movements promised, as far as the spiritual and political impact was concerned.
