I have a replica of the Cherokee Braves Battle flag. When OKlahoma was going to drop the Confederate Battle flag from the flag pavillion, I suggested we fly this flag (they said that there was no historical proof that the flag ever flew over OK)

It’s the stars and bars with 5 red stars inside the 13 white stars and emblazoned with the words “Cherokee braves (or Cherokee rifles, I suddenly don’t remember)

Cherokee Braves.

fyi, i have a "casket size" (i think it's about 5x9ft) Cherokee flag on my bedroom wall.

BUT it is NOT the Cherokee BATTLEFLAG. rather it is the NATIONAL flag of the nation, which was designed by GEN Albert Pike.

the Cherokee Battleflag is a solid RED flag with seven (7) white or yellow seven-pointed stars in the shape of the "big dipper". according to our tribal tradition, the war flag will fly until all our people are FREE again. (there is also a PEACE FLAG, which is white with RED stars. for obvious reasons it is NOT flown!)

fyi, Ruffin is making me a hand-sewn Cherokee Battleflag to match my national flag.

NOT cheap either, as HAND applique is hard to do!
