At
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washitaw_Nation we learn more about this
syncretic self-styled U.S. tribal nation, unrecognized as such and better
described as an African American historicist identity movement, akin to the
Rastafarians, the Fivepercenters, or the NoI.

The Washitaw flag is a handsome design incorporating the colors associated in
the U.S. with both Marcus Garvey and Rastafarians. Its specs seems to be easily
derived from it being a horizontal tricolor with equal stripes (black over red
over green), the middle one blocked on its center with a yellow square (its
sides� length equal to the stripe�s height) with on each of its four sides an
adjoined equilateral triangle � green triangles to the left and right, on the
red stripe, and red triangles to the top and bottom, on the black and green
stripes; the length of the two remaining red rectangles is twice as long as each
triangle�s height (it being indeed drawn on the diagonals of each red
rectangle), for an overall ratio of (1+1+1):(2�√3̅/2+1+2�√3̅/2)
~= 3:4.46.
