Culture Icons Native Americans

 
I have chosen for the Native americans because I think they are a very fascinating culture. All their religions and the way they think about life. Lately they are very poor in the news and the new generation of the native americans has lost heir faith in their culture. We have to show they how much we appericaite and respect and blieve in their culuture. so they start believing in that themselves again. With the symbols you show that you respect their culure and understand the meaning of the symbol and the reason behind. I chosen stickers because everybody loves stickers. they spread very quickly. I think that the we can learn a lot of their culture.
The circle of Religions and Spirituality,
The inside section of a dreamcatcher. A typical symbol for the Native Americans. The web keeps the bad dreams away and the white circle let’s the good dreams in. Natives learn their religion and spirituality and the way they live in visions and views of the future in their dreams. It is time we get inspiration out of our dreams and follow them.
The circle of Traditions and Rituals,
The center of the icon is the symbol for the holy spirit. The big horn Medicinewheel of the Native American is spread over the North of America. The meaning of the Big Horn wheel is infinity and regeneration. This is a symbol that all the Natives use on top of the mountains to show their commitment with the traditions of their country. 
The circle of Myth and Storytelling,
All the stories that the Native Americans are telling are in balance. It is a cycles of believes and myth that come together in one stream of the storytelling. Every story is connected with an another story. The sun is a symbol for the different cycles in life, for day and the moon for night. All the different Natives Americans clans, are connected because they all tell and believe in the same storys and mythes, and that is reason why all the different clans are one nation.
