I don't see any real connections between Ghost Dance and Ghost Riders. Unless the NA own the word ghost. Other than that there is no real connection between the two.

Here are the lyrics to the song Ghost Riders in the Sky...

An old cowboy went ridin' out one dark and windy day

Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way

When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw

A plowin' through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel

Their horns were black and shiney and their hot breath he could feel

A bolt of fear ran through him as they thundered through the sky

He saw the riders comin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry

Yippee-i-yay

Yippee-i-yooo

Ghost riders in the sky

Yippee-i-yay

Yippee-i-yooo

Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes are blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat

They're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet

They've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky

On horses snortin' fire... as they ride on, hear them cry

As the riders rode on by him, he heard one call his name

If you want to save your soul from hell a'ridin on our range

Then cowboy, change your ways today or with us you will ride

A'tryin' to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies

Yippee-i-yay

Yippee-i-yooo

Ghost riders in the sky

Yippee-i-yooo

Yippee-i-yay

Ghost riders in the sky

Yippee-i-yay

Yippee-i-yooo

Ghost riders in the sky

Yippee-i-yay

Yippee-i-yooo

Ghost riders in, the sky

Could the "Sioux Yeah Yeah" be replaced with Yippee-i-yay Yippee-i-yooo?
