Description |
"The five stripes of the flag stand for the five Native American Tribes of Utah, the Ute, Goshute, Paiute, Shoshone, and Navajo. The number of stripes matters more than the size of the stripes. The two blue stripes are a carryover from the original flag and symbolizes justice vigilance, and perseverance as well as the Great Salt Lake as well as all the lakes, rivers, and streams in the State. . Red Represents hardiness and valor as well as the red rocks of Southern Utah. The white stripe stands for Innocence and Purity as well as the Greatest Snow on Earth. The Beehive is a unifying symbol that represents all Utahns as Utah is called the Beehive State. The seven layers of the beehive represent the seven original counties of Utah that are Salt Lake, Tooele, Davis, Weber, Utah, Sanpete, and Iron. The gold of the Beehive represents the wealth, generosity, and the sun. The circle is a carryover from the original flag. The five pointed star represents statehood." |
