#im sure yall knew about the Aboriginal flag

[notahorseindisguise]

for those who don't know: this is the Aboriginal flag.

the black represents the colour of the skin of the people

the red represents the red earth and the spiritual connection to it, as well as the red ochre used in ceremonies

the yellow circle represents the sun, the giver of life

this is the Torres Strait Islander flag, a flag which is just as important, signifying another group of Indigenous australians

the green represents the land, the blue represents the sea

the black lines separating them represents the Torres Strait Islander people

the centre of the flag has a white dhari, a type of headdress

the white star underneath it symbolizes peace, and the 5 points represent the 5 island groups in the Torres Strait

please correct me if you believe any of this information is wrong

#i know only my australian mutuals will be alive right now but i think this might be important for some of us too #im sure yall knew about the Aboriginal flag #but i personally didn't know the meaning of the Torres Strait Islander flag. had to google and read about it #but dw i read like 3 different websites which all seemed to agree on those facts #so i think i got it right #but im sure my qlder followers would know more than me and i would gladly be educated
