Colonists and early Americans flew Indian-head flags for hundreds of years in this country.

In contrast, during the Determination Era (1960s - Present) the American Indian Movement flew their own flag.

Today, Native Americans fly flags and wear patches (right) as part of their reclaiming and decolonizing as well as to send messages.

Currently, Indigenous women and children in the United States and Canada are going missing at alarming rates. The red hand on the face, acknowledges the MMIWC movement.
