This vast but sparsely populated territory was established in 1930.
The majority of the inhabitants are Russian settlers, the Evenki
being a minority.

According to Mikhail Revnivtsev’s paper in Vexilologie 104:
1985-1986 (June 1997) [rev97],
the horizontal stripes are light blue - white - dark blue (27:34:27); the
kumalan (red-white ceremonial carpet) has eight “rays”; the flag ratio
is 2:3. The colors of the flag symbolize polar days and nights, the
kumalan (which itself stands for Sun) is a symbol of Evenki culture.
The flag has been approved by the Suglan, the district assembly, on March
23rd, 1995 (decree Nº 83-3). The gaps between kumalan and the blue
stripes’ margins seem to be identical to the width of the outer margin
of the kumalan, but this measure is not given.
