Alaska's state flag, designed in 1927 by 13-year-old Benny Benson, features eight gold stars arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper and the North Star. The blue background represe nts Alaska's vast, beautiful sky, while the gold stars represent both the state's natural resources, like gold, and its geographic location in the northernmost region of the U.S. The Big Dipper is an important symbol in both the state's history and its cultural ties to the northern hemisphere.
