The Treaty 2 Territory Flag was created by the member First Nations people in
Treaty 2 Territory, including leaders, elders, senior officials, people from the
communities at various gatherings and meetings. The red outline is the territory
set out by our people in the making of the treaty in 1871 at Manitoba House. The
handshake represents the relationship of peace, friendship and sharing made with
the Crown. The blue on top and in the east represents the sky, and on the bottom
and west the water which gives us our life. The green is the grass and Mother
Earth who sustains us and all her children. The sun represents the light and
brightness of the territory, The dots represent and identify our original
keepers. The pipe is our constitution, our daily guide to lead our Sovereign
Nation and territory forward.

The flag has three versions - without name of the treaty, with name in
English, and with name in Anishinaabe.
