The main reason for leaf drop on most trees is that, come winter, it gets pretty cold and dry in our part of the world. Rather than expend energy to protect these fragile organs, trees shed leaves to conserve resources.

The first reference to Indian summer dated from 1778. It described, but did not explain, the phenomenon. So, unlike the expression “Indian giver,” “Indian summer” is politically correct to almost everyone.

A more generic but now (sadly) politically incorrect idiom is “Old Wives’ Summer”. All these expressions may still be heard in various parts of Britain, but chiefly in remote rural areas. Though they are naturally much less common than they were 60 or 70 years ago.

The term has now migrated to other parts of the English speaking world, with newspaper articles in Britain and Australia now mentioning Indian summer. Although in other European countries, such as Germany, an autumn hot spell is traditionally called “old woman’s summer” or “grandmother’s summer.”

Usage of Powwow Use of the word powwow to refer generally to a social get-together or to a meeting for discussion is considered to be an offensive appropriation of a term of great cultural importance to Indigenous Americans.

For some, the expression could mean that a person is exceedingly angry and is inclined to take some hostile action against another person. The last phrase that is often inappropriately used is “let’s have a pow-wow.” The word pow-wow is actually derived from the Narragansett word powwaw, meaning spiritual leader.

If you can, try using the person’s clan or tribe name. And if you are talking about both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, it’s best to say either ‘Indigenous Australians’ or ‘Indigenous people’. Without a capital “a”, “aboriginal” can refer to an Indigenous person from anywhere in the world.
