I'm a Pennsylvanian, growing up in the Laurel Mts. and having known Indian lore from childhood. And having been schooled in the TRUTH about the treaties that the white men made with the people of the area. Even as a child, I knew the term INDIAN GIVER was a terribly thing to be called by a playmate because it meant exactly this: the white man gives a gift THEN TAKES IT BACK. That has ALWAYS been the meaning and nothing else!
