The Seal of the Northern Mariana Islands takes its inspiration from the United Nations, as the NMI had once been a UN Trust Territory.[citation needed]
Design
[edit]The seal has a blue background symbolizing the Pacific Ocean with a white star at the center, representing the United States.[1][2] The star is superimposed on a grey latte stone, a foundation stone used in traditional Chamorro buildings.[2][1] The decorative head wreath or mwarmwar incorporates four types of flowers and is a nod to Carolinian culture.[1][2]
