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.
