Alaska State Flag - Symbolism, History, and Design #3756615 (License: Personal Use)

The Alaska state flag consists of a field of ultramarine blue with eight gold stars arranged to depict the Big Dipper constellation and the North Star (Polaris). Designed by Benny Benson, a 13-year-old Alaskan boy in 1927, it is one of the few U.S. state flags not to include red or white. Its simplicity and symbolism reflect Alaska’s northern location and guiding role in exploration and identity.
