re: #320 Rancher

My bad - the same symbol has been independently constructed all over the world, including North America, where it pops up in Indian artwork on a regular basis. I assumed this was what was referred to as “Indian” in the OP.

My elementary school, constructed sometime in the 1920s, had a swastika moasiced into the tile floor entryway covered by a semi-permanently installed doormat. There were photos of it, however, so this used to come up a lot. There’s no link between the North American native use of the symbol and the Nazis.
