Did yall know that the term INDIAN GIVER was due to the natives taking back the gifts that included food to LAND when they realized the colonists were obtaining lands as property - rather than a source of area to prosper upon. The natives, with different languages and understandings of living, did not know when they offered areas for colonists to reside on, that they would cut down trees & claim control of it. The natives had no such beliefs in owning pieces of Earth in such a way the colonists introduced to them. So they took back gifts, and when they attempted to take back land, they were met with hostility and battle.
