Malietoa’s Flag 1875-1900

Malietoa’s Flag 1875-1900

From 1875 the red flag with the white cross and star, symbolising Christianity and independence was in use, at least by the people who recognised Malietoa Laupepa, the paramount chief of Taumasaga (central Upolu) as their leader. It was used until the German takeover, except between 1887 and 1889 when Laupepa was exiled and his rival Tupua Tamasese installed as leader.
