What is the Kansas state flag?
The state seal centered on the flag tells the history of Kansas and his figures representing pioneer life. The seal contains:
- Landscape with a rising sun (the east)
- River and steamboat (commerce)
- Settler’s cabin and a man plowing a field (agriculture) [foreground]
- Wagon train heading west (American expansion)
- Indians hunting American Bison (the buffalo are fleeing from the Indians)
- Cluster of 34 stars (top of the seal, representing Kansas’s admission as the 34th state)
- State motto “Ad Astra per Aspera” – Latin : “To the Stars through Difficulties” (above the stars)
The thirty-four stars clustered at the top of the seal identify Kansas as the 34th state to be accepted into the Union of the United States.[2] Kansas state law provides that the flag is to be used on all occasions when the state is officially represented.[3]
