a reindeer, that is one of the most important economic resource
of the region. For further information, see <www.maniitsoq.gl>.

Photos at <www.maniitsoq.gl>
show only coat of arms but no flag. Therefore, this reported flag
probably don't exist (yet?). For information about the Coat of
Arms, see <www.ngw.nl>.

I recently researched municipal flags in Greenland by
correspondence with municipal authorities in Greenland. The
results have just been published in the Fall 2005 issue of
Nordisk Flaggkontakt, the journal of the Nordic Flag Society [joe05].
I managed to get confirmation from 15 of 18 municipalities all
using the same flag model - the coat of arms on a white field
(the colour white carries no symbolism). Maniitsoq is one
of them.
