My signs are not anything fancy. I just put a comical twist to them. I tried to make them straight to the point and also readable for everyone who may not speak English. That may work for all but the exit sign. It was kind of hard with the executive wash room sign as I have never seen one before but I did my best to interpret what I thought that was.

My quest to find arrows started out on the streets. I found all the arrows on the road telling me which lane was going where. I found arrows telling me where I can't go and when I can and cant go. These were the easiest to spot. But I soon found that like the article said, arrows are everywhere.
I ended up a the mall and found more arrows there as well. But I was surprised because I thought there would be a lot more than I found. Of course there are arrows that tell us where certain stores and the restrooms are but I guess I was thinking we need more.
Visually the two arrow pictures that I liked the most were the colums that are not "traditional" arrows but still have that feel of them. Also the "enter" sign that was spray painted on the wall.
That one gives character to the space.

I am Snow clan from the village of Shungopavi on the Hopi reservation. Since my time here on Earth I have been raised with traditional Hopi beliefs. I have listened to and learned from my elders the stories of how my clan has come into existence and what role we play in village life. The Snow clan people are here to persevere and help the people during times of challenge and hardship.



The snowflake symbol is how I identify myself not only as a clan but also in a way that each is unique and I am unique.








I think that when a stranger sees me they see a Native Woman. I don't think its hard to tell. Dark skin, long hair and I usually wear some sort of turquoise.
