The Australian Aboriginal Flag is one of Australia's officially declared flags representing Australian Aborigines and has special legal and political status. It is horizontally and evenly divided into black (top) and red fields, and there is a yellow disk in the center of the flag. The black color represents the Aboriginal people of Australia; the red color represents the red earth, the red ochre used in ceremonies, and the Aboriginal people's spiritual relationships with the earth; and the yellow circle represents the life-giving and protective Sun. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 1:2, and the flag was adopted on July 14, 1995.
