Indian Giver is a hardcore band that comprises Indigenous artists from Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. Their music is as urgent as the issues still facing Indigenous communities. Indian Giver's message is straightforward - they aim to promote reconciliation through reclamation. They seek to reclaim the spaces of punk, hardcore, and metal which have been predominantly dominated by white artists and audiences for decades. The term "Indian Giver" was once regarded as a derogatory term. However, the band is using it to hold a flame and provide clear instructions to reclaim all that has been lost or stolen by colonialism.

We respectfully acknowledge the land on which we gather as the ancestral homelands of the Beothuk, whose culture has now been erased forever. We also acknowledge the island of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) as the unceded, traditional territory of the Beothuk and the Mi'kmaq. And we acknowledge Labrador as the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Innu of Nitassinan, the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, and the Inuit of NunatuKavut. We recognize all First Peoples who were here before us, those who live with us now, and the seven generations to come. As First Peoples have done since time immemorial, we strive to be responsible stewards of the land and to respect the cultures, ceremonies, and traditions of all who call it home. As we open our hearts and minds to the past, we commit ourselves to working in a spirit of truth and reconciliation to make a better future for all.
