The flag of Oklahoma consists of a blue background with an brown and maroon stylized Indian shield above the center of the flag, with a stylized green olive branch crossing a stylized tan and maroon peace pipe above the shield. Underneath the shield, branch, and pipe is the word "OKLAHOMA" in white letters.

Symbolism

The blue background symbolizes devotion, and is taken from an Indian flag flown during the American Civil War. The other symbols on the flag, other than "OKLAHOMA", represent many different Oklahoman Native American tribes. The word "OKLAHOMA" represents the state of Oklahoma, which is extremely obvious.
