I'm not seeing what you're seeing. I don't see anything that doesn't look natural to me. It looks like oxidation staining on quartz.
I see the swastika, I get the idea of it and the human stick figure, but why are these man made? It looks natural.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but im not seeing all of those supposed depictions or iconography.
I don't see any signs of pecking, all I see is a rock, with a quartz inclusion and some natural staining or discoloration and maybe a few fresh scratches.
You have to (need to) familiarize yourself with actual Native American artifacts, and what pecking, flaking and grinding actually look like, there is good information and pictures here in the information center were you can do that.
Does look like it may be suitable for a hammerstone but it would need to show signs of use wear.
Keep up the search

Yeah, it's iron oxide staining on quartz. Your imagination is running ahead of you on this one.
