Haida Flag - Black Coffee Mug

The Haida Flag is a symbol of cultural identity for the Haida people, an indigenous nation predominantly residing in Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands) off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. The flag was officially adopted on May 18, 1960, at the First Assembly of the Council of the Haida Nation. The flag design features a Raven and a Black Bear, two significant animals in Haida mythology, standing on opposite sides of a yellow sun disk. The design symbolizes the balance between these powerful creatures and the importance of the sun to the Haida people's way of life. The colors used – black, red, and yellow – represent the traditional colors of the Haida and are also found in nature on the Pacific Northwest Coast where the Haida live. The Haida Flag serves as a visual representation of Haida history, culture, and sovereignty, and it is proudly displayed by Haida people and their supporters worldwide.
