Description |
"(Same Flag with center shifted to the left) The Flag is inspired by many Native American patterns and designs found in clothing, blankets, pottery, and Art of Utah. Each white mountain represents each group of people: The Native Americans, Pioneers, and the new migration of all people. The Pioneer Culture is also represented by the mountains which also represent the front design of the Salt Lake City Temple. This indicates the arrival of the pioneers and the famous quote: This is the Place. And finally each color represents an Iconic symbol and meaning to Utah shown below: Red Sky - Utah Arch from Arches National Park (Courage, Bravery, Leadership, and Sacrifice) Blue Water - The many lakes and rivers that Utah has, including The Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake and many more. (Loyalty and Peace) Gold Yellow - Sun and Beehive/Deseret (Knowledge, Success and Kindness) White - Sego Lilly Flower and Snow covered Mountains. (Purity and Godliness)" |
