Le symbole d'origine de la division approuvé en 1924 était un carré rouge avec une svastika jaune en hommage à l'importante population amérindienne dans le sud-ouest des États-Unis, le rouge symbolisant l'héritage hispanique. Il est abandonné en 1935 en raison de son image devenue négative à la suite de l'utilisation du symbole par le parti nazi. Un nouveau symbole est approuvé en 1939, le Thunderbird (oiseau-tonnerre en français), créature légendaire issue des croyances amérindiennes[1].
