dc.descriptionFound in world art traditions for thousands of years, the symbol in this turn of the twentieth-century basket is referred to by American Indian artists as the ""friendship"" design rather than the ""swastika"" design (the latter term is derived from the Sanskrit word for ""well-being""). When the friendship design, widely distributed in American Indian art, was appropriated by the Nazis, their use of it was condemned by many tribes during and after World War II; they considered it a desecration of their ancient symbol of friendship and abundance.
