International Use of Kahnawake Flag
In 2007, two vessels operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society flew the Kahnawake Mohawk flag.

Since December 2007 the Sea Shepherd vessels have been registered in the Netherlands.

Famous quotes containing the word flag:
“Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
—Stephen Crane (1871–1900)
