Ngarrindjeri Nation Flag

• This is the STORY of the Ngarrindjeri Flag, first flown on Sunday 21 November, 1999, on Kumarangk (Hindmarsh Island):

• The 18 dots represent the 18 tribes (Lakklinyeris) that make up the Ngarrindjeri Nation.
• The spears represent the traditional fishing spears of the Ngarrindjeri.
• The Boomerang is the Sacred Boomerang that when thrown, circles the Lakklinyeris informing their clan leaders to attend a National Meeting called Tendi (Tendi made and interpreted Ngarrindjeri Law).
• The Blue colour represents the waters which surround Ngarrindjeri country.
• The Sun is the giver of life.
• The Ochre colour of the Boomerang represents our Mother - Mother Earth.
