The Aboriginal Flag was officially designed in 1970-1971 and its colours represent different aspects of Aboriginal life. The black symbolises Aboriginal people, the yellow represents the sun and the red represents the earth and the relationships between people and the land.
A lot of people will know that Harold Thomas, an Aboriginal artist has been accredited with designing the Aboriginal Flag, and he current owns copyright to it.
On the other hand, not many people will know that the Cuban painter, Jorge R. Camacho Lazo, 4 years earlier in 1967, created a piece of art called ‘The Night that Hides’. In this very unique artwork, there is an amazing “little picture” that is largely the same as the Aboriginal Flag!
Isn’t history fascinating?
