Oklahoma Flag
DESCRIPTION:
Officially adopted in 1925, the Oklahoma flag honors more than 60 groups of Native American Indians and all of their ancestors.
The blue field is symbolic of a flag carried by Choctaw Indian soldiers during the civil war. The center shield, decorated with eagle feathers, is the traditional battle shield of an Osage Indian warrior.
Two symbols of peace - the peace pipe and an olive branch - cover the buffalo hide shield. The four white crosses on that shield are Native American signs representing high ideals.
The name OKLAHOMA was added to the flag in 1941.
