The Oklahoma state flag, adopted in 1925 and updated in 2006, beautifully symbolizes the state’s Native American heritage and pioneer spirit. The flag features a sky blue field with a traditional Osage Nation buffalo-skin shield at the center. The shield is adorned with seven eagle feathers and crossed by a peace pipe (calumet) and an olive branch, representing peace between Native Americans and European settlers.

The word "Oklahoma" is written in white beneath the shield to ensure recognition. The blue background honors the flag carried by Choctaw soldiers during the Civil War.
