Another photo of the Navajos banning the swastika.
The document they are signing starts off: “Because the above ornament, which has been a sign of friendship among our forefathers for many centuries has been desecrated recently by another nation of peoples.”
[second paragraph] “Therefore it is resolved that henceforth from this date on and forever more our tribes renounce the use of the emblem commonly known today as the swastika or fylfot on our blankets, baskets, art objects, sandpaintings and clothing.”
I wanna shove this in the face of every white person who tries to justify their swastikas with what it originally meant. Symbolism evolves and changes meanings just as language.
That’s like such a mature and selfless reaction, to just accept that it would cause an issue to keep using it (even they would’ve been well within their rights to continue using it), so they just voluntarily stop using it, out of respect for all victims of nazi tyranny.
