Puzzle Description:

The Oklahoma state flag honors more than 60 groups of Native Americans and their ancestors. The blue field comes from a flag carried by Choctaw soldiers during the civil war. The center shield is the battle shield of an Osage warrior. It is made of buffalo hide and decorated with eagle feathers. Two symbols of peace lie across the shield. One is the calumet, or peace pipe. The other is an olive branch. www.50states.com/flag/okflag.htm

By the way, this is just a detail of the flag. I didn't see the point in making it huge, just to add more blue background.

The feathers look a little funny. They look better solid black, but I was trying to make the puzzle a bit more difficult.

very cool! i love the background info on the meaning behind the symbols.

Awesome Arduinna! I saw the feathers right away. Excellent representation. Thank you for the background info as well.

Nicely done! :)

Which tribe might you be from?

Thank you so much. ^>^

I'm from the Scottish immigrant tribe. Actually, my father was (is?) part Cherokee, I think. But I haven't seen him since I was 4.

And what name might they go by? ;)

Thank you very much - I really enjoy hearing the history behind objects. Good Job!

good puz, thanks bunches :)

Fabulous artwork! Makes me feel like a piker for complaining about how hard state flags are! Thanks!

Oh I left some details out, Debra! Besides, you're right that some of those state seals would be nearly impossible.

By the way, did you guys get that the clue is from "Oklahoma" the musical? Or did you just think I was being a big weird hick?

I got the clue Arduinna but I might not count because I'm the daughter of a weird hick. Okies rock! :D

Oops, I didn't get the clue at all - but then I said it out loud and I got it!

And when we saaaaaaaaaaaaay yeow!
A yip i o e aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
We're only saying
You're doing fine Oklahoma
Oklahoma O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A
Oklahoma OK

I've never actually said "yeow, a yip-i-o-e-a" in my life, except during the 5th grade musical. Weird song. Our license plates here used to actually say "Oklahoma is OK." Yep. Not too bad. Not great either. Live here if you want. Or don't.

lol
I say "yeow" quite a bit does that mean I'm an closet Okie?

Bravo Arduinna! Encore!

Not certain Naneki, but I think that there might be a career in "you might be a closet Okie if..." jokes. :)

You are all so funny to listen to.

That's why we're Adam... to entertain and BE entertained! :)

yep yep yep ..thats what we live for.. :)

I'm so glad that you're here too Adam! You fit right in. :-)

Thanks, Nancy. Although I do think that I am too harsh on some people for what they do. Oh well. That's me! I just speak my mind.

Ah..but you have to remember that really when you are being to harsh on someone else you are really being harsh on yourself, & thought I prefer that someone speak their mind & be upfront they also need to consider how their words can effect another..

Ok I'm done being a psychologist for the day..
I'm a nut I'm a nut I'm a nut!

Yes, mother.

lol

I'm a nut too! :)
nice flag Arduinna!

I'll join the nuts ... I kept trying to guess what this was going to be ... OMG of course I had no idea.

I thought it was an angry hockey puck going to war. Just a little off.
