Description of the Flag

Based on a personal web site at http://www.users.quest.net/~rae.4332/flags.html (no longer available), developed by an inhabitant of Palau, which shows the flags of all the 16 states of Palau.  The flag is blue, with 4 white stars in the upper fly and sail boat in the centre of the flag. According the census Sonsorol has an area of 3 sq. km, a population of 80 inhabitants, and the capital is Dongosaru.

According to http://pacificdigitallibrary.org, blue represents the Pacific Ocean. White symbolizes peace. The four stars stand for the four islands forming Sonsorol. They represent the Southern Cross, used by our ancestors as their navigation guide to find our islands. The red canoe stands for the transportation means used to discover our islands and an important use in our every day lives.

The four islands are Pulo Anna (Puro), Meriil (Melieli), Fanna and Sonsorol (Dongosaro).
