Flag of the Sámi People - Symbol of Indigenous Arctic Identity #2309732 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of the Sámi people, adopted in 1986, consists of two equal horizontal bands of red (top and bottom) and black (middle), with a yellow circle-and-arrow motif known as the “sun and moon” or “arrow cross” centered on the black stripe. This design reflects Sámi cosmology, where the red represents the sun, black the moon, and yellow the light and energy connecting them. It is widely flown across Sápmi-the traditional homeland spanning Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia-and serves as a powerful emblem of Indigenous rights and identity.

Used on official Sámi institutions, cultural events, protests for Indigenous rights, educational resources, and government pages related to Arctic Indigenous peoples; matches user intent seeking cultural symbolism, national flags, or Indigenous representation.
