“Ten Little Indians” is an American children’s counting rhyme, listed as Roud Folk Song Index No. 12976. Originally adapted into a song by Septimus Winner in 1868 for a minstrel show under the title “Ten Little Injuns,” the rhyme counts up from one to ten and then back down again. Winner’s longer version included narrative verses in which the number of characters decreases one by one. Due to changing cultural attitudes toward the language used, modern children’s versions often replace the original figures with alternatives such as airplanes, soldiers, or teddy bears.
