Louisiana's
first territorial
governor, William
C.C. Claiborne,
had great admiration
for the Eastern
Brown Pelican.
Rather than
let its young
starve, legend
tells that
the pelican
would tear
at its own
flesh to feed
them. The Governor's
respect for
the pelican,
and its symbol
of sacrifice,
led him to
first use the
bird on official
documents.
The design
was adopted
as the state
seal on April
30, 1902.

The flag in
use today was
officially adopted
by the Louisiana
State Legislature
in 1912. It depicts
the pelican family
from the state
seal on a field
of blue. Louisiana’s
motto, “UNION,
JUSTICE AND CONFIDENCE” is
printed on a
banner just below
the pelican family.
