I always thought it had to do with the treaties in which we gave indians promises and took them back. Makes sense. just backward as we may have believed, right?

Where did the term Indian Giver come from? I have never been ripped-off by an Indian.

I recently flagged a question which used the term "Indian giver" as being offensive. AnswerBag decided this was not, in fact, offensive, and declined to act on the flag. Is there anyone who thinks "Indian giver" is an acceptable phrase?

Where did the phrase Indian giver derive from?

What was the reasoning behind the invention of the phrase "INDIAN GIVER"?

Does the term "Indian Giver" more correctly reflect misunderstanding of the Native American concept of possession and ownership of manifestations in the material world by unenlightened European immigrants rather than a racial or ethnic slur?
