Flag of the Chatham Islands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The (unofficial) flag of the Chatham Islands (Wharekauri in Maori; Rekohu in the indigenous language, Moriori). In the centre you can see the map of the island with the Te Whanga lagoon depicted in white. Behind the map is a depiction of the rising sun. It was designed by Logan Alderson (a former New Zealand police officer) in 1993, and it has been used in the Chathams since then.
It was reported that at the opening of the islands' first new marae for many years (2005), which included a rare visit by the New Zealand Prime Minister, the Chathams flag was clearly seen flying from a flagpole over the Marae (above the New Zealand flag!).
