This story is almost certainly false. The claim is that Harriot saw a tattoo which resembled overlapping and opposing chevrons (>< imagine these two moved so that the points overlap); he is then supposed to have created the signs for "greater than" and "less than" from this single symbol.In fact, Harriot never used those signs in his mathematical studies. They only appeared in a book published after his death and were almost certainly the idea of some other scholar - and nothing to do with native American tattoos.
