Flags of Aotearoa Flags of New Zealand
Flags in national standing have been a long debated topic. The flag debates were again publicly discussed for several years, with several petitions floating about. Most citizens simply acknowledge the right of the 2 main flags that represent ideals in the largest populations.
The New Zealand Flag has been said to not represent well most ideals, or the face of New Zealand or New Zealanders as it is seen today. This is because the flag has been said to have too much in common with the official British Flag, which was originally burned down in several Maori Wars and never officially flown again to represent the peoples interest. The most known case where Flags were a core issue in Aotearoan New Zealand History is the Northerners War [Flag Pole, Flag Staff War] where Maori Leader Hone Heke brought down the British Flag.
