Louisiana State Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #3494570 (License: Personal Use)

The Louisiana state flag consists of a solid blue field with a central white pelican in her nest, tearing her breast to feed her three chicks-a heraldic symbol known as the “pelican in her piety.” Below the nest is a golden ribbon inscribed with the state motto: “Union, Justice & Confidence.” The design reflects Louisiana’s French Catholic heritage and values of self-sacrifice, unity, and civic virtue.
