From 1805 unto 1837 Michigan Territory ruled over sections of the other states from time to time.
Michigan Territory was originally split off of Indiana Territory but only consisted of a big peninsula and a wee portion of the upper peninsula. But in 1818 Michigan Territory expanded over what was to become all of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and the eastern half of both Dakotas
In honor of that connection to Michigan, here are Michigan Territory Heritage flags that are to be flown. But only over the eastern side of North Dakota and South Dakota.

Wisconsin like all of her neighbors belongs the 'Michigan Territory Alumni Association.' Whereby by courts of law, land deeds, deaths, marriages, and births all took place under 'Michigan' law.
Yellow was chosen for two reasons. First it can already be found on the Wisconsin Shield. Secondly it is the most popular colour for cheese.
