Acadian flag

The Acadian flag features a blue background with a golden magnolia flower at its center, symbolizing the cultural identity of Acadian people in Eastern Canada. The blue represents the sea and the sky, reflecting their maritime heritage, while the magnolia signifies resilience, dignity, and their rooted history in the region. This flag was adopted in 1884 to promote pride and unity among Acadians, emphasizing their unique language, traditions, and history, especially after years of displacement and hardship following the Great Expulsion.
