Cholla Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Before anyone gets in a huff, the swastika symbol was used by Native American as a good luck symbol for hundreds of years before Hitler decided to use it. It is also known as the Whirling Logs. Many pre-WWII Navajo rugs and pottery displayed the symbol. Many holsters in the day also had the swastika on them as did conchos and belts. Some Native American artists are now reclaiming the symbol and putting it on their artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X Mark Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Until I photographed these cuffs the tacks are so close together that I hadn't noticed the pattern. Thank you for pointing out the other , older uses of this pattern. I think the Nazis rotated the pattern a little also probably to distinguish it from the other uses noted above.

Cholla Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Here is another example. This was made by a well-known Zia (New Mexico) Native American potter recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretless Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 If people of the cultures from which the swastika was appropriated want to reclaim and redefine it, that is a good thing. It will not be easy to undo the very real and visceral reactions of the post WW2 era. Until that time comes, and it might well be many years, if ever, white people do not need to be sporting swastikas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Appy Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Fretless I'm sure you didn't mean anything by the remark. I'm sure you will agree that white or any other race will need lots of time to get over what happened to them in those times in WW II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All sorts of people have good reasons to react negatively to a swastika, and it will take a long time for that to change. The reason I singled out white people is because we are the most likely to look like we're supporting a white nationalist agenda often represented by the swastika. In the mean time, everybody can help to acknowledge and normalize appropriate cultural usage, like @Cholla is doing above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
