STATE FLAGOFNORTH DAKOTA |
North Dakota�s state flag was adopted on March 3, 1911. The seal on North Dakota's flag is very similar to the great seal of the United States. It shows a bald eagle holding an olive branch in its right claw and arrows in its left claw. The olive branch stands for peace and the arrows stand for the power to make war if necessary. In the eagle's beak is a ribbon with the words "E Pluribus Unum" on it, meaning "One nation made up of many states". Above its head are thirteen stars representing the original thirteen states and sun rays representing the birth of a new nation, America. On the eagle's breast, is a shield with thirteen stripes. The name "North Dakota" appears on a red scroll below the eagle. |
