Negative views of Indians are especially evident in numerous American English words and phrases. Early general examples refer to Indians as barbarians, heathens, and infidels. Subsequently there arose such terms and phrases as Indian giver, speaking with a forked tongue, squaw, wild Indian, the racist designation redskin, and, finally, lo! the poor Indian.
