"Jack D. Forbes, Prof of Native American Studies at the University of California, he said-in our language, we have this word 'Wetico' which means cannibal. One who eats, not literally the flesh of another, but who eats the life of another. And he said that we 
very quickly realized when you people came from Europe, that you were infected with 'Wetico', that it’s a mental illness."

-Thom Hartmann (quoted from the documentary by Tom Shadyac called "I Am")
