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, the red earth, the red ocher used in ceremonies and the Aboriginal peoples' spiritual relationships with the earth; and the yellow circle represents the life-giving and protector Sun. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 1:2, and the flag was adopted on July 14, 1995.
