honestly the best fucking place on the planet. A place where you can escape reality to be yourself with your best friends in the universe. Honestly, if you go to Indian head camp you’re in luck because there are not many places on earth that have rock my soul competitions every Friday, the world famous Nancy tucker performances, baked snake each day for lunch, watching cotton candy colored sunset skies, weekly trips to Capra cinemas, and most importantly, waiting each summer to see the Welcome Home sign. My head always lives there and the memories last forever. Camp that we love
Concerned parent: where should I be sending my child to summer camp?
Every IHC camper: INDIAN HEAD CAMP!! It is the most special meaningful place on earth. It’s where I can really be my truest self and a place I have found my best friends and family.

Melodramatic, melancholy and depressing (if not depressed themselves 95% likely) Indian mothers push their children too hard and want you to be either:
1. A doctor
2. An engineer
3. A lawyer
4. A dentist
Hysterical when accused of a fault, stubborn and demanding, they will make you do all the chores and then criticise you and tear you personality to shreds...so that you won't HAVE a personality. They want to grind you down into a conforming indian guy/girl to carry on the stupid traditions and culture that have been running for 9482429 years. People get with the program!
Highly critical and suspicious, if you have ever smoked, taken drugs or had sex, they will find out.... somehow and if you ever dare to date anyone from outside your race.. GOOD LUCK you'll need it!
They will kick you out of the house or cut you off if you don't follow their plans for you. Great at manipulating and using emotional blackmail.

There are two popular etymologies for this term for a person who gives a gift only to later demand its return. The first is that it is based on an unfair stereotype of Native Americans, that they don't keep their word. In the other popular explanation, the term doesn't cast aspersions on Native Americans, instead it echoes the broken promises the whites made to the Indians. Neither is accurate, although the first is closer to the truth.

Instead the term comes from different commercial practices. To the Native Americans, who had no concept of money or currency, gifts were a form of trade goods, of exchange. One didn't give a gift without expecting one of equivalent value in return. If one could not offer an equivalent return gift, the original gift would be refused or returned. To the Europeans, who with their monetary-based trade practices, this seemed low and insulting, gifts were not for trade but were to be freely given.
The noun Indian gift dates to 1765. Indian giver follows about a century later in 1865. Originally, these reflected simply the expectation of a return gift. By the 1890s, the sense had shifted to mean one who demands a gift back.
