Even after 38 years of Guyana’s independence, the nationhood symbols such as The Golden Arrow Head ( The National Flag) , The National Anthem, Coat of Arms and The National Song have remained novel in presentation as well as designing. The authentic symbols of Guyana have gained global recognition and have successfully established its identity. All the emblems have acted as a source of inspiration for the Guyanese populace. It is usually on occasion that multiracial Guyanese participate in national events, be it religious, political or cultural.

The Golden Arrow Head (The National Flag), Coat of Arms, The National Anthem and The National Song got an approval from the three different political parties in 1966. The parties which were in action at that time were the People's Progressive Party, Untied Force and People's National Congress. Though, The National Flag was hoisted countrywide ceremoniously, but it was hoisted in National Park and over Mount Ayangana after this place gained Independence on May 26, 1966.

After Guyana became Republic, the Golden Arrowhead is hoisted by the Guyana Defence members each year on Mount Ayangana on Republic Anniversary of this place. It is flown in United Nations apart from diplomatic missions abroad in Guyana. The most interesting fact is that it was designed by a graduate from Harvard University, Whitney Smith, now the director of World Flag Center, USA. The flag has five triangles and five different colors each representing different meaning.
