Samoa's flag is red with a blue canton bearing five white stars of the Southern Cross. Red represents courage, white purity, and blue freedom. The Southern Cross marks Samoa's location in the South Pacific and links it to the region's other nations. The smaller fifth star distinguishes the constellation as shown on the Samoan flag, adopted in 1949.
