ive had my fill of people misusing a certai ancient symbol, the swastika: The swastika has been used in practically every culture (including jewish) for as long as documentation has been available with all positive meanings including: good luck, prosperity, fertility, inner strength, the Sun God, peace and love. The nazis used it for 10 years and Hollywood (run by you know who) ever since,has made it a short hand for evil, while the real evil, goes about its business freely so lets shows some surprising uses of the ancient symbol, freely to be seen online thats a swasika pool in Hasadera (dera = temple) japan The word swastika derives from the Sanskrit roots su (Good), asti (to be),[4][6] and ka (making)[6] The older term gammadion cross derives from its appearance, which is identical to four Greek gamma letters affixed to each other.[2 .... The swastika motif is found in some traditional Native American art and iconography. Historically, the design has been found in excavations of Mississippian-era sites in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys, and on objects associated with the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex (S.E.C.C.). It is also widely used by a number of southwestern tribes, most notably the Navajo, and plains nations such as the Dakota. Among various tribes, the swastika carries different meanings. To the Hopi it represents the wandering Hopi clan; to the Navajo it is one symbol for the whirling log (tsil nooli), a sacred image representing a legend that is used in healing rituals.[69] A brightly colored First Nations saddle featuring swastika designs is on display at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Canada.[70] A swastika shape is a symbol in the culture of the Kuna people of Kuna Yala, Panama. In Kuna tradition it symbolizes the octopus that created the world, its tentacles pointing to the four cardinal points.[71] In February 1925 the Kuna revolted vigorously against Panamanian suppression of their culture, and in 1930 they assumed autonomy. The flag they adopted at that time is based on the swastika shape, and remains the official flag of Kuna Yala. A number of variations on the flag have been used over the years: red top and bottom bands instead of orange were previously used, and in 1942 a ring (representing the traditional Kuna nose-ring) was added to the center of the flag to distance it from the symbol of the Nazi party.[72 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
