## Resource

An Indigenous basket with a swastika-like design went up for auction, sparking controversy—but experts stress this ancient symbol holds deep cultural meaning for the Nlaka’pamux people, representing balance, harmony, and the four directions. Long revered in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions as a sign of good luck, it predates Nazi appropriation by millennia. While the Nazi Hakenkreuz is rooted in a completely different origin, the push is to reclaim and preserve Indigenous cultural symbols without stigma—while honoring the global trauma tied to the Nazi emblem. The key? Education and context to separate ancient heritage from modern hate. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
