Molly does a school report on Benny Benson, a young Alaska Native boy who won a contest to design the Alaska state flag, and is inspired to hold a contest of her own, in this 11-minute animated story from the PBS KIDS series MOLLY OF DENALI™. (Move the cursor over the video progress bar to locate “Brand New Flag” at 14:00.) Everyone is eager to have their flag chosen as the winner, but Molly must decide which one truly represents the Trading Post and the people of Qyah.
