Aboriginal Flag - Symbol of Indigenous Australian Identity and Heritage #2298632 (License: Personal Use)

The Aboriginal flag features a horizontal bisection: black on top symbolizing the Aboriginal people, red on the bottom representing the earth and spiritual connection to land, and a central yellow circle denoting the sun, the giver of life and protector. Designed by Harold Thomas in 1971, it was officially recognized by the Australian government in 1995 and remains a powerful emblem of identity, resistance, and unity. It is widely flown during National Reconciliation Week, NAIDOC Week, and other Indigenous-led events.
