Choker Necklace Earrings Set Native American Handmade Native Navajo Thunderbird Inspired Black Multicolored
The Thunderbird is a mythical bird-like spirit that is a prominent part of Navajo culture, art, and traditions:
Symbolism
The Thunderbird is a symbol of power, protection, and strength. It is often depicted as a huge bird that creates thunder with each flap of its wings, and is believed to influence the weather. The Thunderbird is also associated with fertility and prosperity because rain is essential for crop growth in the arid Southwest.
Navajo beliefs
The Navajo view the Thunderbird as a spirit from outside of this realm. Navajo legends depict the Thunderbird battling the Navajo war spirit Nayanazgeni. The Navajo pronounce Thunderbird as "Ii'ni" (Ee knee).
Jewelry
Thunderbird jewelry is popular and can be found in a variety of styles, including necklaces, cuffs, and charm pins.
The Thunderbird is also a part of the myths and traditions of other Native American tribes, including the Hopi and Pueblo peoples. Each tribe has its own unique interpretation of the Thunderbird, but the underlying theme of its supernatural power and connection to nature remains consistent
