The Seal of the Northern Mariana Islands draws its inspiration from the United Nations, as the NMI was formerly a UN Trust Territory.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Design

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 gray 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]
