African Nova Scotian Flag
The Colours:
Red    -blood, sacrifice
Gold   -cultural richness 
Green -fertility, growth
Black  -the people
 
The Symbol: Sankofa (Akan language of Ghana) - “reach back and get it” 
san - to return
ko   - to  go
fa    - to fetch, to seek and take
 
Sankofa is one of many ancient Adinkra symbols conceived in West Africa. It is represented by a bird with its head turned backwards taking an egg off its back or a stylized heart. Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa yenkyi,” which translate as: “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.
 
This stylized Sankofa symbol created by African Nova Scotian artist Wendie L. Wilson incorporates a wave in the bottom centre which has a dual meaning; it represents the ocean and movement and also honours our ancestors journey through the middle passage. On the left is half of a stylized heart (a version of the Sankofa symbol) with a yin and yang like symbol embedded to represent heartbreak balanced with forgiveness. The image is encompassed with an incomplete circle representing those things absent, but yet to come.
