Have you seen the Circassian flag?

The Circassian Flag consists of 12 gold Stars and 3 gold Arrows on a green background.

The 12 Stars represent the 12 Circassian tribes. Abdzakh, Besleney, Bzhedug, Hatuqwai, Kabardian, Mamkhegh, Natukhai, Shapsug, Temirgoy, Ubykh, Yegeruqwai, and Zhaney. The flag united these tribes.

The Three Arrows symbolized peace. Because traditionally, hunters will go out to hunt with only three arrows. It communicated their intentions to others. Because if they carried more, that meant War.

Same region. Shamil was Chechenian, and his fame came during the second Chechen war which was fairly recent.

The Circassians were done with war way before that. Like a 100 year before.
