The Great Seal of the State of North Dakota is the official seal of the U.S. state of North Dakota.
The current seal was designed in 1987 and is based on the description of the seal of the Territory of Dakota, enacted in 1862-1863.
A tree in an open field, the trunk of which is surrounded by three bundles of wheat; on the right a plow, anvil and sledge; on the left, a bow crossed with three arrows, and an Indian on horseback pursuing a buffalo toward the setting sun; the foliage of the tree arched by a half circle of forty-two stars. It is surrounded by the motto "Liberty and Union Now and Forever, One and Inseparable", from Senator Daniel Webster's Reply to Senator Robert Young Hayne. |
