The Flag

The flag shown above with the diagonal logo and linden(?) leaves and flowers seems to be the new flag, but there are two different versions. The one with the diagonal emblem is found in very few photos, dated around 2011. Another version with upright quartering has many photos from 2009 (maybe even 2006) until now.

It has three flags that changed through the years. The oldest one is green with inscription "PEJUHUTAZIZI KAPI OYATE NATION". The next is blue with inscription "PEZIHUTAZIZI OYATE". The current flag is petroleum in color with changed tribal logo.

I also found a drawing (I don't know if it was also used as a flag) with white background (on Wikipedia), and one with a black background (on January 2014).
