Introduction

The Indians won is a novel about the relationships of immigrants and native Americans, written by Martin Cruz Smith, who is, as far as I know half Cherokee. The main plot is not really worth to be mentioned. Interesting is an alternative, historical scenario: The Indian tribes end their antagonisms and annihilate the US Army, led by President Rutherford Hayes, on 30 May 1876. The Indians are supported by modern weapons and Europeen instructors and they have the Mormons and their army, the Nauvoo Legion as confederates.

After their victory they establish the Indian Nation on the territory of the real-life states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. In a treaty with the US Government they cede Nevada to the USA. As a result the USA are separated into two regions. The USA become the strongest naval power and they conquer or purchase a vast maritime realm. Among others the gain the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Samoa, the Bermudas, Jamaica, Okinawa, Midway, and the Caroline Islands. In the end there are 55 states (no further details mentioned).

In the last chapter during peace negociations an Indian Nation table flag is mentioned: A green flag with a red sun in a white annulet.

Of course I don't know the details. And I have my doubts about the annulet (Ring in the German edition). Thus I have drawn two versions:

  • An Indian Nation flag according to the description of the German edition; the Indian's sun symbol I chose arbitrarily, it looks like the New Mexican emblem. The red sun is in an annulet.
  • Another Indian Nation flag. I placed the sun onto a white disc.

The second design looks better; it would be interesting to read the description from the American edition.

I've drawn this as a green field with a big red circular sun in a white ring.
