Petition:
This petition is for all who love Guam.
The flag of Guam and the Great Seal of Guam both have a mistake with the flying proa depiction in their images. It's a simple mistake that's easy not to see if you don't know what you're looking for. Nonetheless, the flying proa, our Sakman, is on the flag for a reason and that reason is tarnished with an incorrect drawing. In a sentence, the way the vessel is drawn would have either the wind blowing the sail directly into the mast or blowing both the mast and sail down.
It was the European powers of the world at the time who declared our flying proa to be the fastest vessels on the globe. Earning us such a reputation in world history more than warrants the image of a sakman on our flag. The least we can do is get it right.
This petition is to ask our elected leaders to correct or improve the image of sailing canoes in the Great Seal of Guam, the flag of Guam, and in all Gov Guam media. For our ancestors, for our legacy, for our own selves here and now, let’s fix the flag!
