(noun)A historically accurate re-naming of a person who gives a gift, only to ask for it back later. Derives from Indian Giver
The US Government has always been a cracker-giver in it's dealings with Native Americans. Cracker-giving is exemplified by the 1832 Treaty of Washington. Within days the promises made in it on behalf of the United States had been broken."
