| The Great Seal of the State of Kansas is the official seal of the U.S. state of Kansas. The seal contains state motto on Latin "Ad Astra per Aspera" ("To the Stars through Difficulties") and a landscape that includes a rising sun, representing the east. A river and steamboat, signifying commerce. In the foreground, a settler's cabin and a man plowing a field represent agriculture. A wagon train heads west (depicting American expansion) and Indians hunting American Bison (the buffalo are fleeing from the Indians). Around the top of the seal is a cluster of 34 stars which symbolizes Kansas’ role as the 34th state of the American Union. | ||
