Best Answer

On the Wyoming state flag, there is a silhouette of a bison (which is a local mammal in that region) on a blue square, bordered in white and red. The red symbolizes the blood of the pioneers and Native Americans who gave their lives. The white symbolizes purity and uprightness. The blue symbolizes the skies and the mountains.

The state seal is branded on the bison. On the state seal, there is a woman and two men. The woman represents the state motto "Equal Rights," and the two men represent cattle ranchers and miners. The eagle and shield represent the USA. There are two dates on the seal - 1869 (when WY became a territory), and 1890 (when WY officially became a state).
