The meaning of the shield:
Symbols of the American Indian are very
interesting. They represent the past and
sometimes the future.
They tell mysterious stories of old cultures of
those simple, yet complex people who lived in
balance with nature and communicated their
beliefs, dreams, and reality in symbols.
The exact meaning of ancient symbols of the
Apache is not possible in many instances.
There is strong evidence that a single symbol may
have had several meanings.
The meanings placed on symbols by modern scholars
are not necessarily those intended by the
makers.
Therefore, meanings change from tribe to tribe
and from one region to another.
