What do the black lines represent on the Torres Strait Islander Flag?

  1. Animals

  2. Plants

  3. People

  4. Mountains

The correct answer is: People

The Torres Strait Islander Flag features a white Dhari (headdress) with five points representing the island groups in the Torres Strait. The green represents the land, the blue represents the sea and the black lines represent the Torres Strait Islander people. They are a symbol of the strength and unity of the Torres Strait Islander community and their connection to their ancestral lands and waters. Option A, B, and D are incorrect explanations as they do not accurately represent the symbolism of the black lines on the flag.
