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:
“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
