This flag was first raised in Listuguj (Listuguj, P.Q.) on October 4, 1900 and in Kjipuktuk (Halifax, N.S.) in 1901.

When I fought to protect my land, my home, I was called a
savage.

When I neither understood nor welcomed this way of life,
I was called lazy.

When I tried to rule my people I was stripped of my authority.
