OUR NNDT LOGO Our official Logo is an original design and represents the 4 colors that represent the 4 directions (west, east, south & north): red, yellow, black & white.. The red sheild represents life and the people. The chevrons represent feathers, keeping the knowledge and passing it on to the 7th generation. The yellow star represents reaching for the stars and achieving goals that seem to be out of reach. These colors are also represented in the ancient medicine wheel. The overall shape represents the drum which is the heartbeat of the people. Design by NNDT staff. All Rights reserved 2005 Copyright |
