The state flag of Michigan shows the American eagle and motto above the shield. The shield shows a pioneer on the lakeshore, holding his rifle - he is waving. The meaning is: "You are welcome, but we will defend our state" That is the Latin word above him: "Tuebor" - "I will defend". The shield is flanked by two examples of Michigan wildlife, the elk and the moose. The motto on the banner underneath in English is: "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look around you" The field is logically blue - Michigan is surrounded by the Great Lakes.
