Cherokee Flag

The Cherokee Flag is a powerful expression of the culture, history, and unity of the Cherokee Nation. Rooted in centuries of resilience and tradition, the flag stands as a modern-day symbol of a people who have preserved their identity through generations. Whether displayed at cultural events, in public spaces, or personal collections, this flag speaks to the enduring legacy of the Cherokee people.

Designed by Stanley John and officially adopted by the Cherokee Tribal Council on October 9, 1978, the flag features a bold and symbolic layout that connects past and present. Every element of the design holds meaning, telling the story of a nation’s strength, sorrow, and spirit.

Flag of Cherokee Nation – A Deeply Symbolic Design

The flag of the Cherokee Nation features a striking orange field with the Great Seal of the Cherokee Nation prominently displayed in the center. Surrounding the seal are seven yellow, seven-pointed stars arranged in a circle, each representing one of the seven traditional Cherokee clans: Wolf, Deer, Bird, Long Hair, Paint, Blue, and Wild Potato.

In the upper left corner, there is a single black seven-pointed star. This solemn symbol commemorates those who suffered and died during the Trail of Tears, a forced removal that remains one of the most painful chapters in Cherokee history.

Together, these elements turn this flag into more than just a banner—it’s a tribute to resilience, remembrance, and cultural pride. It serves as both a ceremonial piece and a visual representation of collective identity.
