The flag of Michigan depicts the state's coat-of-arms on a dark blue field. The state coat of arms depicts a light blue shield upon which the sun rises over a lake and peninsula, and a man with raised hand and holding a long gun representing peace and the ability to defend his rights. The elk and moose depict great animals of Michigan, while the bald eagle represents the United States. The design features three Latin mottos: E Pluribus Unum, "Out of many, one", a motto of the United States; Tuebor, "I will defend"; and Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice, "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you" (the official state motto).
