Fluttering in the breeze, jockeying for position on Waitangi Day

It was ANZAC day yesterday, a day of national pride and remembrance.  That got me to thinking...I don't think I've ever shown you New Zealand's flag.  Here it is.

Blue background for the sea and sky, the Union Jack in the corner to signify the country's relationship with Britain, and the Southern Cross as the navigational tool of the south Pacific.
 
And here is the national Maori flag.

I wish our Native Americans had their own flag too....all they have are casinos. And they didn't even have that when I was growing up. What was done to them was so wrong. Trails of tears...
