Adopted on August 15, 2003, the Arviat flag reflects the community's rich cultural heritage and its close connection to the land, wildlife, and local traditions. The flag consists of three horizontal stripes of equal width in the colors green (top), white (middle), and blue (bottom). In the center, a stylized caribou head with antlers is placed, symbolizing Arviat's reliance on this important game species for food, clothing, and tools.
