The Swastika was such a common symbol in American Indian culture that it was on the shoulder patch of the US 45th Infantry Division, which was the Oklahoma National Guard. They changed to a Thunderbird when the Swastika became known as the Nazi symbol.

Swastika means “Auspiciousness” in Sanskrit, was used in ancient times. Then Greeks used it. Shame the Nazis made it “bad”.
