Friendship Stick Symbols
|
The blue band at the top represents the blue sky we
all live under together.
The blue eye stands for life.
The black eye stands for death.
The upwardly curved red lips mean joy.
The green band is for purity in thought, word, and deed.
The five bands (yellow, red, brown, white, and black) are all of equal size - as all
people are created equal whatever their race or colour.
The red band signifies hope.
The brown band at the bottom represents the earth on which we all stand. |
