Flag of Easter Island

The flag of Easter Island (Rapa Nui: Te Reva Reimiro or Te Reva Rapa Nui) consists of a white banner with a red reimiro.[2] It is a white flag featuring in center a reimiro (a wooden pectoral ornament once worn by the people of Rapa Nui) painted in red (mana), a symbol of power, with two anthropomorphic figures at its edges, representing the ariki (chiefs, nobles).[3] A variant distinctively features four black Tangata manu (bird-man) at each corner of the flag.[citation needed] The flag was created by the local population in 1880 for the island to adopt the apparatus of a modern state and hold a state-to-state dialogue with Chile, which eventually annexed the island in 1888.In 2006, it was upgraded to a Special Territory and optional use of the Rapa Nui name was allowed in government documents for the first time, with the reimiro flag adopted as the entity's flag.
