Definitions and meaning of redskin

redskin

Etymology 1

From red +‎ skin. References to indigenous Americans' skin being red can be found from the 1580s, and ambiguous (disputed) instances of the term redskin or red skin exist from the 1690s, perhaps as straightforward references to that, or perhaps in reference to tribes such as the Beothuk painting themselves with red paint. However, the earliest unambiguous instances of the term are from the 1760s, apparently translating (via French peau-rouge) a native term from a tribe of the Mississippi Valley.

Alternative forms

  • Redskin

Noun

redskin (plural redskins)

  1. (now sometimes considered an ethnic slur and offensive) A Native American.
    • 1699?, Henry Smith or Samuel Smith or a relative, possibly quoting another colonist, in a letter quoted by a descendant (which, however, Ives Goddard argues is fake):
      Ye first Meeting House was solid mayde to withstande ye wicked onsaults of the Red Skins.
Usage notes

Previously used neutrally, the word began to be used as a term of contempt in the late 1800s; it is now often considered offensive.
