The Aboriginal Flag

The Aboriginal Flag is a symbol of Indigenous Australian identity, culture, and rights. Designed in 1971 by Harold Thomas, it features three horizontal sections: black at the top representing Aboriginal people, red at the bottom symbolizing the earth and spiritual connection, and a yellow circle in the center representing the Sun, a source of life and guidance. The flag has become a powerful emblem of unity, pride, and the ongoing struggle for recognition and equality for Aboriginal Australians. It is widely used at cultural events, protests, and in public spaces to honor and celebrate Aboriginal heritage.
