Flags depicting the Southern Cross

A flag is like a special sticker that represents something important, like a group of people or a place. The Southern Cross is a special group of stars you can see in the sky if you live in the Southern Hemisphere. Lots of countries and groups like to use the Southern Cross on their flags because it reminds them of where they come from and who they are. Some people really love the Southern Cross and what it represents, but other people think it might not be a good idea to use it on flags because it could make some people feel excluded or left out.
