W. H. "Ping" Ferry had asked David Aberle, an anthropologist, to write to Merton about the Sioux (Lakota) and about Sitting Bull. Though not an expert on the Lakota, Aberle offers some resources and advice. Merton responds that he is most interested in background on the Ghost Dance.
David Friend Aberle was a professor of anthropology at University of British Columbia whose specialty was the study of the Navajos.
