ICT: Waking up to 'Indian giver' on Good Morning America

Friday, November 4, 2011  

"After ending her 72-day marriage, denying accusations that the nuptials were part of a publicity stunt or that she did it for the money, one question remains, will Kim Kardashian keep the $2 million ring given to her by Kris Humphries?

Her mother thinks she should.

“I hate an Indian giver, don’t you? It’s a gift, keep your gift,” Kris Jenner said during an interview today with Good Morning America.

The term Indian giver has been looked at as derogatory to Native Americans, but has also been incorrectly misinterpreted to refer to white colonists, who “would give things to the Indians, only to take them back,” reports WordOrigins.org.

But where did the term actually evolve from?"
