I didnt mean to come off as defensive. Just do me (as an O'odham) a favor and be truthful about its symbolism and origin. Attatched to that symbol is the history and the heart of a tribe that is still surviving here in Southern Az.
btw, When I was a freshman an anglo teacher had the same design on his calf. The students asked him about it and he said it was a Navajo symbol. I was painfuly shy back then and didnt correct him. I have regretted it ever since.
