God only gave me two hands. The rest he gave to the Indians.

Does anyone know anything about the expression, "God only gave me two
hands. The rest he gave to the Indians," or if it is even widespread
at all? I have it from the grandmother of a friend; the grandmother
has been saying it her entire life. My database and Internet searches
turn up nothing for it.

Thanks,
