Gangs in prison?

Question

I know this guy who has been to prison. He has a Swastika tatooed on his arm. He told me it is a Native American symbol and he got it purpsoely for that meaning and got it right after he got out of prison. I told my friend about it yesterday and she said most likely he got it while in Prison as a neonazi sign because they have racial gangs in prison so he probaly became a member of the neonazi skin head white group.
What sounds more believable?

Answer 1

I know there is at least one tribe out there that did use that symbol, as a good symbol. Might be in reverse? It did not become bad until other people made it so.

Edit: Read through this... They symbol on this person's arm may really depend on the direction and angle it was done in. If you look through the whole page, you will see that the Native variation is reversed.
