Trivia: Which state’s flag features an indigenous tribe’s symbol for the sun?
Nevada
Texas
New Mexico
Wyoming
The correct answer is New Mexico
So why is this answer correct? : In 1920, the organization Daughters of the American Revolution put out a contest for a new flag design to replace New Mexico’s less-than-inspiring design. The contest was won by Dr. Harry Mera, whose design was simple: a bright yellow background with the Zia Pueblo people’s symbol for the sun in the middle. Since the Zia people honor the number four, the number features heavily in the design, which features four rays extending from the center of the symbol.
