The Upper Peninsula has sometimes thought about breaking away from her southern mainland of Michigan. There have been all sorts of proposed flags. Here is one more design. That honors Quebec, Canada, the US, and Marquette.
The flag is a tribar of blue, white and blue withe red fluer-di-lis in the middle. The two blue sections represent Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. The red, white, and blue theme is from the US flag. The fluer-di-lis connected this land to the first settler of Michigan, Frenchman Marquette.The style of the flag hints of Canada to honor the Upper Peninsula's connection to Canada as well. The people who live there like to called Yoopers, making the people in Michigan the Lowpers.
