Is there a source for this flag? Try as I might, I can't seem to find any sources that confirm that this is the flag that the Métis used as their flag for the Provisional Government during the 1885 Resistance. Littlejohn657 (talk) 22:48, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
Provisional Government of Saskatchewan flag[edit]
Someone has downloaded this flag and captioned it the "Provisional Government of Saskatchewan flag" without any sources. Some call it the Fenian flag.
Maybe the flag should have a new caption. I have removed the flag from the "Provisional Government of Saskatchewan" page twice so far since the symbols on the flag appear to contain symbols and colour of another group (clover leaf, golden lyre and fleur de lis on a green background).

- I've listed the image for deletion. Even the Fenian flag story doesn't quite explain this, because this wasn't the actual Fenian flag either. My best guess, to be honest, is that somebody self-created this in a misguided attempt to have a placeholder image to sit alongside the "Provisional Government of Saskatchewan" link in contexts (like the infoboxes of military battles) where countries typically have a flag thumbnail next to their names, due to the lack of any historically attestable flag image to use. But no, this was definitely never the real flag of any polity or political pressure group. Bearcat (talk) 18:21, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
