All the symbols depicted in the hate symbols database must be evaluated in the context in which they appear. Few symbols represent just one idea or are used exclusively by one group. For example, 100% is often used as an amount or an expression and it is also used by some white supremacists as shorthand for "100% white." Similarly, other symbols in this database may be significant to people who are not extreme or racist. The descriptions here point out significant multiple meanings but may not be able to relay every possible meaning of a particular symbol.

Hate on Display / Indiana Aryan Brotherhood

Group Status: Active

The Indiana Aryan Brotherhood is a large white supremacist prison gang based in Indiana. It is active both in Indiana prisons and on the streets. Despite its name, it has no connection to the "original" Aryan Brotherhood, which is based in the California and federal prison systems.

The Indiana Aryan Brotherhood has a distinctive logo consisting of a stylized letter "A" inside a circular emblem that has the words "Aryan Brotherhood" as well as SS bolts and a swastika. Often the circular emblem is yellow in color while the "A" in the middle is red. Occasionally a member's rank will also appear as part of the tattoo. This tattoo is often mistaken by the media and others as being associated with the "original" Aryan Brotherhood rather than the Indiana group. The two are completely separate groups.
