One could discern a common thread running through the 1910 Fruitgum Company’s bubblegum hits. They all had subject matter and titles that appealed to the pre-teen audience. This one, co-written by Ritchie Cordell and Bo Gentry who wrote numerous Tommy James and the Shondells hits, along with Bobby Bloom (“Montego Bay”) was no different. This title would never fly in today’s PC world.

Truth be known, it was the Anglo settlers and U.S. government who were the "Indian Givers", not so much the Native Americans themselves.
Actually that's still the case today.
