The Native Thunderbird Symbol represents power, protection, and strength. The mythical creature is said to be the dominating force of all-natural activity. The thunderbird is said to create the sound of thunder by flapping his large wings and shoots bolts of lightning from his eyes. By being the spirit that controls the rain, it also enables all living things to grow.
The word Concho, sometimes spelled Concha is a common symbol used in Native American silver jewelry. The word comes from the Spanich word meaning shell and one theory of the origin of the symbols use in Native jewelry is that the Navajo adapted it after they had first seen it used by the Spanish Mexicans.
