I have recreated a version of the Alaskan Flag because I think it is super, and I love the story and symbolism behind it - though simple they may be.

It was designed in 1926 by a 13 year old Native American boy, Bennie Benson, for a contest to create a flag for the then Alaskan Territory. Bennie's design was one of 142 entries submitted by Alaskan school children, and was noted

"The blue field is for the Alaska sky and the forget-me-not, and Alaskan flower. The North Star is for the future state of Alaska, the most northernly in the union. The dipper is for the great bear symbolizing strength." (Bennie actually mispelled the word strength in his version)

Wuhoo!!! I leave tonight!!!!!! I can't wait!!
