Tokelau

The flag of Tokelau features a golden traditional Polynesian canoe (vaka) sailing toward the Southern Cross on a blue field. The canoe symbolizes the journey, culture and self-determination of the Tokelauan people, while the Southern Cross represents the islands' location in the South Pacific and their connection to New Zealand.

Tokelau officially adopted its current flag on September 7, 2009. The design was chosen to reflect the territory's Polynesian heritage, maritime traditions and aspirations while remaining a dependent territory of New Zealand.
