I have assessed this as a Stub, as it contains only the basic information on the subject, and of low importance, as it is a highly specific topic within Canada. Cheers, CP 22:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
This page was rewritten by User:70.25.15.163 on 2009-05-27. Given that all of this IP user's contributions (before and after this one) have been vandalism, and given that the revisions removed all wikilinks from the article, and given that there were no references provided for the revised text, I didn't feel comfortable leaving it in the article. I have reverted, but the text of the revised article is pasted here for someone who knows more about this than I do to review. -- Transity ( talk • contribs) 20:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
I was wondering what the color codes were for the flag, I know it may be variable, but I wanted to know one of the color code by example, the RGB 8-bits value, with the help of my digital color meter, the published blue RGB value is R:34; G:51; B:204, White is the full white R:255; G:255; B:255, Red is R:204; G:0; B:0. I find this information may be valuable for other to know as they might want it for learning purposes.

There are absolutely no historical contemporary accounts of the flag being given to the Métis by Alexander Macdonell of Greenfield that are currently known. A detailed examination of the origin of the Métis flag is provided by Métis author, lawyer, and historian, Jean Teillet, in collaboration with Métis local president, Dr. Adam McInnes, in their work Métis Nation Infinity Flag Debate – Tracking the Historical Sources – August 2020. In the course of their research, they examined the claim that the flag originated from Macdonell, including reviewing primary and secondary sources, but found no corroborating historical evidence for this version of events, and found potentially conflicting accounts that describe gifts being given to the Métis by the North West Company that do not include a flag among the gifts.

§ Design and symbolism included the following sentence (indentation and numbering added):
Therefore

From § Design and symbolism [bolding added]:
The sections I have bolded are directly contradictory. Furthermore, the last reference, cited in support of the red flag's being a war flag, supports exactly the opposite conclusion. While it is primarily about the "Métis sash", the brief section "Flags" (p.59) consists of a pair of labeled graphics:
The quotation in § James Sutherland's accounts of the Métis flag also has the red flag being flown in a peaceful meeting, though it also could indicate that the group flying it intended combat, on the side of the Europeans in the meeting [underlining added]:
I am changing the second bolded sentence quoted from § Design and symbolism to refer to the blue flag.
