The Hawaii state flag, also known as the Ka Hae Hawai'i, uniquely blends Hawaiian and British influences. Adopted in 1845 under King Kamehameha III, the flag features eight horizontal stripes of white, red, and blue, representing the eight main islands of Hawaii.

In the top left corner, the Union Jack acknowledges the historical relationship between the Hawaiian Kingdom and Great Britain. This combination of elements symbolizes Hawaii's sovereignty and its multicultural heritage.
