The Cherokee Nation is the largest of the three federally-recognized tribes of Cherokee in the United States. First recognized under the Franklin Roosevelt administration in 1941, it drafted a constitution under the name "Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma." The constitution was not finally ratified by tribal members until 1976.
Design
Файл:Emblems of USA 1876 (original).jpgThis collection of United States Seals was registered by the Library of Congress in 1876. When enlarged, there is a seal towards the lower-left corner representing the Cherokee Nation with the words "Cherokee Nation Ind. Ter." included as the label.
A flag for the new nation was designed by Stanley John, and approved by the Cherokee Tribal Council on October 9, 1978. The flag has an orange field with the "Great Seal of the Cherokee Nation" at its center. The seal is surrounded by seven yellow stars with seven points. Each of the stars points toward the star in the center of the seal.Шаблон:Citation needed The seven-pointed stars represent the seven clans of the Cherokee.[1]
The current version comes the flag being modified in a resolution passed by the council on September 9, 1989.[1] Then, a black seven-pointed star was added to the upper right-hand corner of the flag to represent the light that went out with the deaths of those who perished on the Trail of Tears.[2] The official flag also has a green-and-black rope edging.[1]
The Cherokee script in the central seal reads: "Tsa la gi yi A ye hli" (translation: "Cherokee Nation").[1]
Historic flags
Peace Flag
Oral tradition states that the earliest Cherokee flag was the Cherokee Peace Flag, which had seven red stars with seven points, arranged in the form of the Big Dipperasterism on a white field.[3] Tradition also states the Cherokee War Flag was the same design as the Peace Flag but with the colors inverted.[1]
