Throughout most of history, it has been associated with order and stability. The unfortunate association of the swastika with Hitler understandably makes some people uncomfortable when they see a similar symbol on Native American baskets, rugs and jewelry. The Whirling Log symbol is associated with a narrative involving a man (sometimes called the Culture Hero) who takes a journey down the San Juan River in a hollowed out log canoe. During his adventure, he encounters whirlpools and a special event where the San Juan River meets the Colorado River. There he comes upon a whirling cross with Yei figures. Seated on the cross. From the yeis he learns much knowledge which he takes back to his people. Since World War II, use of Whirling Logs in Native American artifacts has been confined mainly to rugs & jewelry with the symbol used from before 1940.
