South Island flag. Unofficial in that it is not gazetted, but has been seen in various online publications. Supposed representation is that the white color comes from the snows of the Southern Alps, with the red strip at the bottom representing the Maori and Europeans of New Zealand (Red being the common color). The Maori name for the South Island is boldly emblazoned over the strip. In order to blend in with the flag, the New Zealand White Ensign is placed in the canton.
