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.
