The Seal of the Northern Mariana Islands draws its inspiration from the United Nations, as the NMI was formerly a UN Trust Territory.
Design
The seal has a blue background, symbolizing the Pacific Ocean, with a white star at the center representing the United States. The star is superimposed on a gray latte stone, a foundation stone used in traditional Chamorro buildings. The decorative head wreath, or mwarmwar, incorporates four types of flowers and is a nod to Carolinian culture.
