This week I am writing about the meaning of the Cherokee flag.
It is an orange flag with a white, orange, and green seal in the center. Inside of the seal lies a golden star with 7 points on it. Surrounding the star is leaves and acorns which represent the sacred Cherokee fire. The seal has written on it “Seal of the Cherokee Nation”, and “Sept. 6, 1839” which is when the Cherokee Constitution was singed. Seven yellow stars surround this seal, with each star representing each Cherokee clan. Finally in the top right corner there is a lone black star. This star represents all the lives that were lost along the trail of tears.
