OriginsThe etymology of wašíču is unknown but some of the Northern Plains tribes use terms for Europeans that are cognates with wašíču. For example, the Hidatsa word for white people is maší (clearly a cognate with wašíču because Hidatsa m corresponds to w in Lakota).[4] This suggests that wašíču could be a borrowing from another language. A common folk etymology claims that wašíču originates from wašíŋ ičú "he takes fat"[2] and this is used by natives in puns to refer to non-Natives who collectively rob tribes of their resources.[1] In Dakota, Wašicu also means the English language.[5] The Lakota word for the English language is Wašíču iyápi.[6] In popular culture"Wasichu" is a fifth-season episode of the television series Criminal Intent, about a lobbyist and Indian gambling.[7] See also
