The flag of Tokelau is a blue flag with a yellow stylized sailing Tokelauan canoe on the right and four five-pointed white stars forming the southern cross on the left. The canoe symbolizes the journey to find the best government structure for Tokelau's people, while the Southern Cross symbolizes a navigational aid for the journey. The white stars of the Southern Cross are a symbol of Christianity, and white also signifies cooperation and unity among the Tokelau atolls. While yellow stands for a happy, peaceful community, blue stands for the ocean and sky. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 1:2, and the flag was adopted on September 7, 2009.
Tokelau is a dependent territory of New Zealand in the southern Pacific Ocean and consists of three tropical coral atolls. It has no capital, and its population is about 1,500 people (2016).
