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 the metaphor to describe the newcomers. It was Wasi'chu, which means "takes the fat," or "greedy person."
I read this, thought about it and went on to start a discussion about Apples vs Bananas (good thread, should check it out in OT). I came back here and read this again and think I get it now.



Insinuation ^^
