Native American tribes historically did not have symbols - they did not need them because they could instantly tell the difference between their own people and other tribes by language, hair styles, costume and details of costume decoration.

Today many tribes have developed symbols for use on flags and on internet websites.

The modern Comanche use a circular design split into two areas (blue and yellow) by a vertical wavy line, with the silhouette of a mounted warrior in the yellow portion. Around the edge are the words "Comanche Nation Lords of the Plains".

This symbol would be completely meaningless to a Comanche warrior of, say, 1860.
