Flag of Nunavut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Flag of Nunavut was proclaimed on 1 April 1999, along with the territory of Nunavut in Canada.
It features a red inukshuk—an Inuit land marker—and a blue star, which represents both the Niqirtsuituq, the North Star, and the leadership of elders in the community. The colours represent the riches of the land, sea and sky.
The Nunavut flag breaks a precedent among Canadian provincial and territorial flags in that it does not make any reference to British heraldry or any kind of coat of arms, as well as the Union Flag. The Nunavut flag is the only territorial flag to exhibit a vertical bicolour of any kind.
