Pitt Island or Rekohu - the lesser island in the Chatham Archipelago

Flag for Rekohu or Pitt Island - New Zealand

This is a flag for Pitt Island which is a part of the Chatham Islands archipelago. The flag of Pitt Island uses the colours black, white and green. Centered is fern which is a national symbol for New Zealand. The green fern lies on a white dexter bend dividing the black field into two triangular parts.

Pit Island was originally home to the Moriori who were a different race from the more populous Maori.

Like the tragedy of Native American in the United States, the British/New Zealand Government played aboriginal vs aboriginal. The UK arrived with Maori from New Zealand in 1835 to wipe out the Moriori. The result was the Moriori Genocide.

Ross Island Flag

The Ross Island Flag is based upon the birthplace of its discoverer - Sir James Clark Ross. He was born in London on the zero year of the 19th century. Ross discovered this island in 1841, and it was subsequently named after him.

Bounty Islands Flag for New Zealand

Flag of the Bounty Islands


Not to be confused with Bounty Island, the Bounty Islands belong to New Zealand and consist of 13 main islets in the South Pacific.

Thus accordingly this flag has 13 stripes. There are three large red stripes, four large blue stripes and six thin white stripes. The white stripes are actually fimbrations around the red stripes. This is done in conjunction with the Red New Zealand stars that have a white fimbriation.


The 13 islands are
(1) Depot Island
(2) Lion Island
(3) Penguin Island
(4) Proclamation Island
(5) Ranfurly Island
(6) Ruatara Island
(7) Spider Island
(8) Tunnel Island
(9) Castle Island
(10) Funnel Island
(11) Prion Island
(12) Molly Cap
(13) North Rock

These islands are also antipodes to Europe, at Boulle-Mernard France. Another coincidence is that these islands were discovered the same year the United States become a legal nation under the Constitution in 1788. Thus the flag of the Bounty Island flag bears some resemblance to their up and over cousins to the north. The US Government is the same age as these thirteen magically shaped isles.
