Flag of the Chatham Islands
The unofficial flag of the Chatham Islands is a blue field with a map of the island in the centre, the Te Whanga Lagoon depicted in white. Behind this device map is a depiction of the rising sun, an allusion to its local name Rekohu, meaning 'rising sun'.History
The flag was designed by Logan Alderson, a former New Zealand police officer.
At the 2005 opening of a new marae on the islands, the Chathams flag was clearly seen flying from a flagpole over the marae.
