Wašíču (Lakȟótiyapi) or waṡicu (Dakhótiyapi) is the Siouan word for "white person", "white man", or "non-Indian." It expresses the Indigenous population's perception of non-Natives' relationship with the land and the Indigenous peoples. While it commonly refers to white people and the language they speak, the definition is based on behavior, and does not specifically mention skin color or race.
