Facts, history and meaning about the flag of Michigan

Michigan's state flag is a striking blue banner featuring Michigan's coat of arms prominently in the center. The state's coat of arms displays an eagle with its wings outstretched, clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons, which symbolize the nation's desire for peace and its readiness to defend its ideals. A red ribbon with the Latin phrase, "E Pluribus Unum," which means "Out of Many, One," is draped across the eagle's beak, signifying the state's role in the creation and unity of the United States. The eagle is surrounded by a depiction of the state's most important natural resources: a moose, a white-tailed deer, a bald eagle, and an American elk. A blue shield in the center of the seal features the image of a man standing on a peninsula, holding a rifle in his hand, and standing in front of a rising sun. The man represents peace and the sun represents the new state of Michigan.

The flag of Michigan is a symbol of the state's history and its place in the Union. It was first adopted in 1911, and its design has been modified slightly since then.
