"Rethinking the Flags of Indian Country" Panel @ Indigenous Comic Con 2018

[@Vexillographer]

Hey everyone. I've been getting a lot of comments asking about the hiatus on this channel. Well, life suddenly got a lot busier for me lately. I was invited to present panels at two different conventions, which I needed time to prepare for, and I've also been working on other exciting projects. But I've still got some more fun flag videos coming, including the Top 10 Worst City Flags, which I'm having fun putting together right now. :) So, long story short, I'm busy and things take time, but I'm still here. Thank you for understanding.

[@kareemhaidar2003]

Vexillographer you forgot this month in flag news for the past couple of months after July.

[@taehyllib]

So you are Round Trip?

[@legendmk52]

Hello! I think a really good idea for a video is the previous Macedonian flag, with the Vergina Sun because it caused a LOT of controversy with Greece. They even embargoed us!

[@harrisonmontages1717]

You should do what you did with the city flags... Except it's for Liberian county flags.

[@MustraOrdo]

You know what could be a cool video idea: Letting your viewers make some alternate flag designs and concepts of existing countries for you to review and display in your next video.

[@shboi8103]

yep

[@wafflepenguin4440]

Or perhaps letting his viewers make alternate flag designs for us states, mostly the bad us state flags

[@cesaralvarado1420]

OAC hallucinating I AGREE

[@tomat6362]

I couldn't wait; I just sent in my redesign for Minnesota.

[@totallynotnoone4380]

You are such an amazing presenter. If I only had a sliver of the enthusiasm you had.

[@tearlach47]

This was really cool to watch! Thanks for sharing it on your channel. They really don't emphasize the indigenous peoples in school as much as they should, I believe, and it's a shame that kids miss out on such rich culture here in our own country.

[@YountPower]

I tip my hat to you for displaying the flag of the Haudenosaunee, or the Iroquois people, which I am from. From a fellow Native American.

[@xander1052]

Cody Yount honestly one of the best flags I’ve seen and one of the most beautiful flags from America, though my heart is still with my historic English county’s flag (that of middlesex) naturally :)

[@BudCharlesUnderVlogs]

If you're ever in a convention in Australia I'll definitely come to your panel! :)

[@Kimmel2]

Hello Peter, I'd love to see a video about different parts of a flag. And different design strategies to create one. And maybe this will also give you a chance to display some flags of your own that you have designed, if any. I look forward to seeing it. Thank you.

[@rowanjdquinn]

It’s cool to see another one of your videos! Love your videos!

[@COLSTERYouTube]

glad you're back!

[@Voix1000x]

This was really really interesting! I didn’t know that they even had flags

[@kareemhaidar2003]

I’m a huge fan of flags. I’m your subscriber. Love you vexillographer

[@qwertyTRiG]

That city flag with the gears is actually a really nice design for a business card; useless flag, of course. The black star added on the fly is a bit odd; usually these things go at the top of the hoist, the "position of honour" where they can be seen even on a still day.

[@SamAronow]

I saw a flyer for this con and thought you might be there. Hello from Israel.

[@sofia.eris.bauhaus]

what's your opinion on political flags? i really like the bisected anarchist flags. they are almost too simple to call a design but i just like how they form a scheme for related ideologies. also i like many of the relatively newly termed queer identities, such as asexual, genderqueer, non-binary. they are all horizontally striped (like the gay pride flag) but they they tend to have such a nice striking choice of color. then there is the free speech flag, which is just a neat idea that worked surprisingly well, and also makes me nostalgic of a less toxic political climate on the internet.. lastly, the vegan flag is also pretty cool.

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

It would be cool if you added your own designs as examples of how those disappointing flags could be improved.

[@recbelgenalo9333]

are you that guy who made that round tip channel? the one with ponies and stuff

[@coppersalts]

I'm pretty sure he is.

[@lanahanbrian0]

Presentation well done. Good on you Peter for sharing the vexi knowledge with the people.

[@sussybaka5322]

Had no idea you were first nations. I love your enthusiasm

[@MissingGamer]

I always thought the thing on Milwaukee's flag was a ferris wheel

[@chiron14pl]

Very well done presentation, congratulations

[@chiron14pl]

I just thought to add another comment. The Métis are actually a bi-racial people; descendants of early French settlers who married into indigenous communities. This makes me wonder if there are any other communities of bi-racial people who identify as a separate community and have a flag as do the Métis?

[@sotik7535]

You should called it " rethinking Amerindian or Native American flags" Because I though it was actually about India BTW still very interesting .

[@connierule3902]

I just had an idea, you could talk about the different pride flags and their symbolism, history, and stuff. They all seem to be really well designed.

[@sneakyrblx6897]

Can u make a video of why most flags have the union jack which is always the British flag

[@Lycaon1765]

There's an indigenous comic con?

[@GazilionPT]

21:19 The Gila River Indian Reservation flag features a central element (a circle with 7 vertical lines = a native drum?) that would make for a wonderful flag. 27:39 Remove the seal, keep the 7+1 stars - there, a good flag!

[@anguillamations4479]

Great panel Peter! You're a lot better at public speaking then me lol.

[@im.not.typical91]

I admire your work

[@NikhileshSurve]

I always forget that the pile of rocks in Nunavut flag isn't a small dagger or knife with a big handle but a much smaller blade.

[@MTRHayHay]

Where is the top 10 worst city flags?

[@Vexillographer]

Still working on it, along with multiple other projects. Sorry it's been taking so long.

[@AlejandroLopez-vp4le]

I didn't knew that you're a native american and also a navajo, that's cool

[@AlejandroLopez-vp4le]

@Giuliano Lanzilli sorry, my bad, english isn't my native language

Guys, this is the same person behind Round Trip. *what the actual hay*

[@L_T34]

[@TsukiCondor]

Had no idea you where Navajo 😀,Very cool to learn

[@TsukiCondor]

@Giuliano Lanzilli Ok sorry

[@joaopauloribeiro5284]

[@emojicolors]

Oh yay a new video expect that its 40 minutes long

[@katef3846]

even better!

[@haxaa2076]

are you full or half Navajo

[@Lycaon1765]

Glad to see my state in the bottom 4. :')

[@christiandevey3898]

The Milwaukee flag looks like a poster

[@christiandevey3898]

anoncap I don’t think it makes a good flag. But it would make a good poster to put on someone’s wall. Poster: a large printed picture used for decoration

[@kareemhaidar2003]

Enjoy remembering the Indian flags

[@ByrdieFae]

I love seeing all those flags. And I had no idea you were Native, double nice. But jeez I understand telling a presenter to slow down, but the audience did a heckuva lot of talking. It got to be a little irritating...

[@Vexillographer]

I was actually glad that they were interested enough to ask questions! It encouraged me that they understood my message and wanted to know more.

[@nothankyou2121]

Love the video!

[@harrisonmontages1717]

[@MrRottenAli]

Hi Peter - great presentation - most interesting. I notice a number of comments saying about doing redesigns. Can I please leave this link for those people who are interested in being part of the ongoing effort to find the redesign ideas. Link: facebook.com/groups/452687255183305/ it's a face book group called "U.S. State Flags, Current, Historical and Proposed" where currently about 50 people are voting on all the existing redesigns and making new meaningful work. So far we have looked at about 20 states and each month we sign off the best idea and switch states and start all over again. Thanks, Best Regards Alan Hardy

[@katzlang]

You kinda seem nervous here. I don't blame you, I'll be nervous too. Nice presentation, though!

[@Vexillographer]

Thanks! I was, heh. :)

[@bradleyilagan3939]

That's why you can't see MOST Philippine provincial flags outside. Not only because of the design. Since these flags have seals, they don't have to fly outside but stay in the Capitol instead. And you what? If the seal looks good, just remove the text around it.

[@Naiant]

Good presentation. Two things I would have wished. First, it would have been cool to suggest and show your own redesigns. Second, I wish that one guy would have shut up.

[@Vexillographer]

Thanks. I was actually quite happy that the audience asked all those questions. It made the panel more fun for me, and it also showed they were interested in what I had to say. :)
