Not Just for Tickling Big Birds: The Meaning Behind the Feathers
There are seven feathers on that Oklahoma flag, and let me tell you, those feathers ain't there just to make the shield look fancy (although, they do achieve that too). Here's the down-low (get it? Because feathers... nevermind):
- Unity with a Pinch of History: Some say the seven feathers represent the seven Native American tribes that call Oklahoma home. Think of it as a feathered high five to the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, Apache, and Kiowa nations.
- Feathers for Everyone: Others say the seven feathers represent all Oklahomans, both Native American and non-Native American. It's like a big, fluffy "welcome to the party" sign for everyone who calls Oklahoma home.
So, which theory is right? Honestly, that's up for interpretation! The beauty of the Oklahoma flag is that it allows for both ideas to coexist peacefully, just like the feathers themselves.
Fun Fact Alert! (Because Everyone Loves Fun Facts)
The feathers are arranged in a specific way, with five feathers clustered together at the bottom and two above them. According to some theories, the five lower feathers represent the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole), while the top two feathers symbolize the unity between all the tribes and other Oklahomans.
