INDIJANCI U SAVREMENOJ AMERICI
TVRD POVEZ SA OMOTOM
Wasi`chu: The Continuing Indian Wars
Bruce Elliott Johansen, Roberto Maestas
268 pages
The first people who lived on the northern plains of what today is the U.S. called themselves `Lakota`, meaning `the people,` a word which provides the semantic basis for Dakota. The first European people to meet the Lakota called them `Sioux,` a contraction of `Nadowessioux,` a now-archaic French-Canadian word meaning `snake,` or enemy.
The Lakota also used a metaphor to describe the newcomers. It was `Wasi`chu`, which means `takes the fat,` or `greedy person.` Within the modern Indian movement, `wasi`chu` has come to mean those corporations and individuals, with their governmental accomplices, which continue to covet Indian lives, land, and resources for private profit. `Wasi`chu` does not describe a race; it describes a state of mind.
This book is about resistance to that state of mind and to the economic system that rewards it.
