That makes sense FRiend.
Thank you both for the interesting info about swastikas used by the tribes. Pretty neat as historical information.
Like I said it’s before my time. Growing up on the reservation in Shiprock and the Four Corners, I have never seen a single one in jewelry, art, rugs, fairs, or any cultural representations anywhere. The symbol has completely disappeared. I have no personal information on sand paintings or ceremonies so I can’t say if they are used there. My grandparents probably could have attested to the use of the symbol but they are no longer around.
I’ll remember to keep an eye out for the swastika aka whirling logs when I visit Central Street or older parts of Albuquerque.
