Wasi'chu

This book explores the history and perspective of the Lakota people, also known as Dakota, contrasting their self-identity with the European label "Sioux" and the Lakota’s own metaphor for outsiders—"Wasi'chu," meaning "takes the fat" or greed. It delves into themes of resistance against a mindset and economic system driven by greed, highlighting ongoing struggles over land, resources, and cultural preservation. The narrative emphasizes that "Wasi'chu" is more about a mentality than a race, framing the story within a broader context of resistance and resilience.
