Flag of Acadia

[1] At that conference Richard, using military metaphors stated "At the great 1881 convention held in Memramcook, we joined together in an orderly army set for battle, not to wage war on our brothers who share our religion, but to defend ourselves against any threat made to our nationhood."

[2] The Musée Acadien at the Université de Moncton has the original flag presented by Father William to the 1884 Convention.

[3][better source needed] The gold colour of the star was chosen by Father Richard because it is the colour of the Pope, in order to show both the adherence of the Acadians to the Roman Catholic Church and the role of the Church in the history of Acadia.

[citation needed] The flag's creation was an important part of the Acadian Renaissance, and its final design reflects the political and religious considerations of that period.
