This flag of the Michipicoten First Nation was seen in a parade of 10 flagpoles, 9 of which flew flags at https://www.google.ca/maps. It is quite different from the flag shown at the top of this page. It is a black flag with an eagle head in a disk near the hoist, the name written across the top in white, a yellow-black-white-red design in a narrow strip below it, and seven attributes written on the rest of the flag in Ojibway and English: Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility, Truth.
