Vinland flag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vinland flag is a contemporary flag first used by the musical group Type O Negative to encompass a variety of front man Peter Steele's interests and political beliefs[1], including his own Icelandic heritage. [2] The flag appears on various discs by the group, sometimes with the slogan made in "the people's technocratic republic of Vinnland" and adorns various pieces of Type O Negative merchandise.
Subsequently, the symbol has gained use by various groups in North America, including vendors, some Germanic neopagan groups and white nationalist and white separatist political groups -- including far right groups such as some Neo-Nazi groups -- who identify the short-lived Viking colony of Vinland (11th Century) with the areas of the modern nations of the United States of America and Canada inhabited by whites. Some of these groups propose setting up an independent nation of Vinland as a homeland for the Aryans of North America.[citation needed]
The flag is designed in the style of a Nordic Cross flag, with a green field and a black cross with white fimbriation.
