Flag of Oklahoma
The flag of the state of Oklahoma consists of a traditional Osage Nation buffalo-skin shield with seven eagle feathers on a sky blue field.
==Symbolism==
The Osage shield is covered by two symbols of peace: the Plains-style ceremonial pipe representing Native Americans, and the olive branch representing European Americans. Six golden brown crosses, Native American symbols for stars, are spaced on the shield. The blue field is inspired by the Choctaw flag adopted by the tribe in 1860 and carried though the American Civil War.〔( "Don Healy's Native American Flqags: Choctaw Nation." ) Retrieved January 15, 2014.〕 The blue field also represents devotion. The shield surmounted by the calumet and olive branch represents defensive or protective warfare, showing a love of peace by a united people.〔(State Symbols USA:Oklahoma State Flag. ) Retrieved August 5, 2013.〕
In 2001, a survey conducted by the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA) placed Oklahoma's flag 39th in design quality out of the 72 Canadian provincial, U.S. state and U.S. territory flags ranked.〔http://www.nava.org/flag-design/survey/state-provincial-survey-2001〕
