Native American Culture

The bead work is beautiful and a source of mathematics. Native Americans used Four-Fold symmetry. This system existed before the Europeans. Four-Fold symmetry is geometry based. Pronunciation of tribes: Shoshone: show-show-nee
                                       Pawnee: Paw-nee
                                       Navajo: Now-uh
Reflection symmetry: Both sides are mirror to each other
