Each state in the United States of America is unique. The people and legislature of Kansas have selected the following state symbols to represent their state's individual environment and culture.
On a navy blue field is a sunflower, the state flower. Also, the state seal and the words "Kansas".
In the picture of the state seal are thirty-four stars representing the order of statehood. Above the stars is the motto "To the Stars through Difficulties". On the seal, a sunrise overshadows a farmer plowing a field near his log cabin, a steamboat sailing the Kansas River, a wagon train heading west and Native Americans hunting bison.
