Constellation symbols: Facts and History of Samoa Flag
Being adopted 1949 the national emblem of Samoa has a quite puerile design which is however full of deep significance: on a red background there is a blue rectangle shape having the four cardinal white star symbols pictured on it.
Facts and History of Samoa Flag indicate a prior time before the adoption of this flag when the Samoa Island was under the control of New Zeeland and adopted the defaced blue and red ensigns.
The current design pictures the bravery, courage and purity of the island’s inhabitants and their desire for freedom and equal rights that will lead to prosperity and happiness for the future generations.
