An indie game is funded by its developer. As in, the people doing the day-to-day tasks of making the game are paying out of pocket for its development.

I liked this definition, until I thought about kickstarter. How does that fit in?

Kickstarter is crowdfunding. In almost all cases, it is used to supplement -- not replace -- the team's financial contribution. So, it's an indie game with crowdfunding support, or perhaps simply a "crowdfunded" game if the raised funds make up a majority of its budget.
