North Dakota state flag
The North Dakota flag, adopted in 1911, consists of a navy blue field with a bald eagle with outstretched wings in the center. In its talons he clutches an olive branch of peace and a bundle of arrows. In its beak is a banner with the nation’s motto, “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” Below is another banner with the state’s name, “NORTH DAKOTA.” Above the eagle is a group of 13 stars and a gold crown bent over the top. This flag is almost exactly the same as the banner carried by the state’s troops during the Philippine-American War.
All of our flags at Star Spangled Flags are 100% made in the USA from start to finish! We use a tough, nylon fabric to hold up outdoors, extra stitching on the fly end of the flag, and a special UV coating to prevent fading from the sun.
