Flippin' da Pow-wa!

I'm currently working on a symbol to represent the idea of this tribe. The most dominant image that comes to mind is a swastika. This ancient symbol is meant to symbolize rebirth, renewal and to represent Spring. In sanskrit it is Svastika, meaning - Well Being. For more than a Millenia, this symbol was pure. Now, the swastika is attributed to Nazi Germany and all the hatred, genocide and "racial" divisions headlined in WWII. More importantly, power is still today being drawn to an idea that there is a superiority among the peoples of Earth, same unchanged symbol.
The reason i vote to use the swastika, is to transform the power created when presenting this symbol from hatred among people to a unified idea that we are of One Race.
With a swastika similar to the Nazi's, it would draw the attention of those who could grasp our meaning. Uniting under a once tainted, now again pure symbol, will be noticeable. Will it generate the desired effect?

  • yo and,

    so the idea of well being will always be there. and swastikas are always gonna be around. that's cuz pain always leaves reminders.

    meanings often get mixed up,
    specially if those that are new to a mindset
    are not movin forward yet.

    so if ya wanna start somethin new,
    might be best to start with somethin new.

    or not.

    i'll support what you choose.

    that's just me and my opinion.

    but then i'm still tryin to figure out what to do with this.....

    you deserve it.

    always,
    krista
