Whoa, though I think some of these people are despicable (but I also see a lame auto polish stand set up lol) you have to remember that the swastika appeared in both India-Indian and American Indian artwork long before Hitler.

My guess is that this is an incorporation of such a symbol. If I'm not mistaken, though, the swastika appeared in the American Southwest, not in "MExico."

Exactly. I have one of the Fred Harvey "American Indian-style" turquoise and silver souvenir bracelets with a "swastika" on it that were sold through the old Southwest trading posts.

Here's an Apache basket with the same design:
