The flag has the emblem of eagle and fish above the name on a white field.

This entity is also named the Alexandria First Nation, "the smallest of the
six member communities that form the Tŝilhqotʼin", says
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria_First_Nation.
The flag bears
centered on its ~3:5 white background the eagle-and-fish (a salmon?) logo in
black above the native language name of the people, set in green letters, all
along the bottom, in typeface Calibri. The
exact spelling used exhibits three
mistakes:
1. The initial should be a "Ɂ" but a "?" is shown instead.
(Calibri has the glottal stop letter in its inventory and all text software has
been Unicode compliant since 2010 or so.)
2. The second letter "e" is
wrongly capitalized. (The glottal stop letter is a letter.)
3. Letters
"ti" were not (allowed to be automatically) typeset as a non orthographic
ligature, which is the normal behaviour of Calibri in this default kerning.
I prepared a variant of this flag with corrected spelling, reading
"Ɂesdilagh First Nation".
The logo does not show the exquisite and
sophisticated artwork native Cascadian flags often depict: it seems to have
been put together from two disparate clipart images.
