🏴 3' x 5' Duluth, Minnesota flag with grommets and double stitched edges to reduce fraying. ✍️ The Design: Designed Blane Tetreault (pronounced Tay-tro). The Duluth community was asked to submit designs a new Duluth flag in January of 2019 and a total of 195 submissions from 98 artists were received. The artist has this to say about the flag's design: The colors found in the Duluth flag represent the clear blue of the sky, refreshing water of Lake Superior, deep green of the north woods, and snowy winters. The design acknowledges the ancestral and contemporary presence of the Anishinaabeg - and many other Tribal Nations - who have called this community Misaabekong (“the place of the giants”) home for millennia. The design symbolizes the rolling water of Onigamiising (“the place of the small portage”) where the water meets and where people have always gathered to meet. Together, we call this gathering place: Duluth. The design symbolizes Duluth's hills and designates some of the area's most prominent topographical features: Thompson Hill, Enger Hill, and Hawk's Ridge. Polaris, the North Star, is perched above the city. The star symbolizes the Zenith City of the North, a leader of the northern sky and center of all good things.
