Talk:Indian giver

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Are you sure this information is correct? I always thought that it referred to the U.S. Government which gave the Native Americans priveleges and then took them away. Thus they are "Indian Givers" as in, giving things to the "Indians" rather than "Indians who gave"

No, this is correct.--Srwm4 19:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Swrm4 is right; it refers to Natives giving and then taking back. Ironic, huh? Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 10:47, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
