About the Official State Flag of Hawaii
The flag of Hawaii resembles the Union Jack of Great Britain because many of King Kamehameha’s advisors were British and the islands were once placed under England’s protection.
Eight horizontal stripes represent the eight major islands of Hawaii. This flag has served as the flag of the kingdom, republic, territory, and the state of Hawaii.
