   This can be found in Modern Primitives in the chapter about ManWoman, the Canadian artist trying to reclaim the ancient Swastika symbol from the Nazis. It’s of a girls hockey team from Edmonton Alberta in the 20′s.

   1916 – to be accurate.

   When first looking, it occured to me that most of these girls don’t exactly fit the Aryan ideal. Thanks for the explanation.

   Yeah, I thought there was something a bit off about this. Usually (though not always) the NAZI swastika is turned about 45 degrees so that the outer legs describe a diamond shape; the traditional swastika is usually set “square” as in this photo.

   I’m not sure how I feel about efforts to “reclaim” the swastika. The NAZIs were such a potently clear example of pure evil that they make a highly useful historical example, and should not be forgotten.

   I don’t get it – - a 1920s hockey team can help “reclaim” the Swastika, which was made famous decades later?
