The Seal of the Northern Mariana Islands draws its inspiration from the United Nations, as the NMI was formerly a UN Trust Territory.[ citation needed ]

Design

The seal has a blue background, symbolizing the Pacific Ocean, with a white star at the center representing the United States. [1] [2] The star is superimposed on a gray latte stone, a foundation stone used in traditional Chamorro buildings. [2] [1] The decorative head wreath, or mwarmwar , incorporates four types of flowers and is a nod to Carolinian culture. [1] [2]
