His actual name was Tondaosha, which means "buffalo robe." It would be interesting to try to incorporate Shoshoni design, especially relate to robes, in a flag.
If the question is "where does this represent?" I fail the quiz because I haven't got a clue!
going to turn this into a quiz...
Oh, I looked back at the other one with many stripes. So, it's WI. But I think this is more identifiable.
Intriguing. A lot of ideas I like, but too much verbiage and the goldfinch looks like it's on meth. While humor has its place on this site, I'm proposing practical redesigns for the real world, so this is my more conservative idea. A jayhawk replaces the bald eagle.
Iowa. The Hawkeye State. Yet it's state symbol is the American or Eastern Goldfinch (Spinus Tristis or Lightning Bird) Thus Eagle Removed.
States like Iowa take themselves too seriously.
I say lighten up Iowa, back your local bird and do it with a bit of fun...
Iowa only has 5 state symbols, and one of them is Geode Rock. Hollow with crystals inside. Thus the joint margins between the blue, white and red panels are angled like the inside of these types of rocks. Also the lame Iowa script is removed for a bolder score in a colour associated to these Geode rocks (235-195-130)

well, here is my take...
P for Proud, P for Pocatello, the circular design on the skin is placed as a feature of the negative giant white P in the hoist.

Oh, the use of the hide is very cool! But all the verbiage makes it look like an ad for the Chamber of Commerce. Ironically, that's exactly what the current flag is. It even has the copyright and TM symbol.

For a long time I felt that enlarging the stars would be all that would be mess art, that the current flag was otherwise basically sound. But, then I saw this one and I thought it a big improvement. The stripes call to mind the Russian flag,, from which it was purchased. I would alter the black stripe to yellow for the Klondike gold rush.
I once thought that this would work well for OR, but decided it was a bit too complex to be practical. It depicts a whale.
Alaska. Sorry little dipper, you can see that sort of thing just about anywhere if you only look up! If you look down closely in Alaska then you may see gold, jade, ice and fish. So much so the locals know a very particular way of drawing them...
Credit going out to the Art Gallery, Fairbanks Alaska. I would redraw it but I've got 26 more flags to look at yet.
The spacing of the salmon very nearly touches the top and foot of the flag because it just about touches everyone's lives who live in Alaska. The fish leaps from the ice white water, clearing its majestic way. To the hoist, gold (255-215-0) (the state mineral) can be seen in small amounts of thin seams shown by the one pixel width of the upper and lower connection. Similarly, Jade (0-168-107) (the state gemstone) can also be found in small amounts. The red (228-32-41) sector (for the 20 tribal languages) in the fly directs a white semi circle into the far corners of the land as it feels like Alaska sits at the very edge of the world.
I like this, based on Sir Walter Raleigh's coat-of-arms.
too easy now...
was this...
now this...
that is @Rubberduck3y6 's submission on flag thread IV, his submissions are the best!!! (rubberduck if you see this, please do more, maybe the country flags?)
