Native American Indian Symbols & SymbolismAnd Their MeaningsAmerican Indians have always used symbols to communicate their thoughts, expressions and beliefs. From prehistoric rock drawings, called petroglyphs and pictographs, to the use of symbols incorporated into jewelry and craft designs. Because there were very few Native Americans written languages (one of the few, the Cherokee written language was invented by Sequoya), images used as symbols were extremely important. Many of the images below can be found used in Navajo and Zuni jewelry.
The information above was supplied by impact photo-graphics. There are many other symbols that are used:
ARROW....protection ARROWHEAD....alertness
DEER TRACK....plenty game
LIGHTENING ARROW....swiftness
