Ella Cara Deloria (1889-1971) was a Dakota Sioux scholar, ethnographer, anthropologist, writer, and translator who was a critically important recorder of Sioux culture and languages at a time when the traditional culture was in danger of being lost. She also brought a new perspective on the work, as she herself was born on the Yankton Sioux Reservation and was part of a traditional Dakota Sioux family.
