Colonel John H. Fraine
introduced a resolution to the North Dakota Legislative
Assembly to adopt a Flag of North Dakota that would take the
color, size and form of the regimental flag carried by the
North Dakota Infantry in the Spanish American War and the
Phillipine Island Insurrection. The only exception for the
Flag of North Dakota, was that the name of the state, North
Dakota, was to be displayed on the scroll below the Bald
Eagle on the Flag of North Dakota.
Introduced on January 21, 1911, his Flag of North
Dakota resolution was adopted by the Legislative Assembly on
March 3, 1911.
A dark blue field on the
Flag of North Dakota displays a Bald Eagle grasping an olive
branch and a bundle of arrows in its claws. The Flag of North
Dakota eagle carries
a ribbon with the words "One nation made up of many states."
On its breast is a shield with thirteen stripes representing
the original thirteen states. The fan-shaped design above the
eagle on the Flag of North Dakota represents the birth of the
United States and included thirteen stars echoing the thirteen
stripes on the shield. The red scroll below the eagle on the
Flag of North Dakota displays
the state name, North Dakota.
A bill to change the
Flag of North Dakota because it too closely resembled the Coat
of Arms of the United States was introduced and defeated in 1953.
Everyone generally liked the Flag of North Dakota, even though
the Flag of North Dakota is similar to the US arms. Most
people think of the US coat of arms when they see the Flag of
North Dakota. The Flag of North Dakota is not very
representative of the state, but it has remained the Flag of
North Dakota nonetheless. |
