The Outer Part of the Seal: Colors and Symbols
Red symbolizes the pigment of the desert and our guardian bird. It also acts as a blood tribute to our ancient ones.
Black colors are a tribute to ancient spirits since black was applied to the skin during funerals and grieving processes.
The red road on each symbol goes to our father/mother sun which illuminates the homes of our people, which are represented by triangles.
