1950 Flag
The territories’ second flag came about circa 1950. The territorial government was becoming sensitive to the needs of the territorial residents. The coat of arms on the flag consisted of a polar bear, and wheat stocks. Wheat stocks were a poor choice, as the territories’ agricultural land had been ceded to other provinces years earlier and the flag was replaced in 1959.

Famous quotes containing the word flag:
“There’s an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
