Louisiana's official emblem is a symbol of its rich history and heritage, showcasing the unique blend of French, Spanish, and African influences that have shaped the state over time. At its center lies a pelican, depicted with one chick in its beak while another chick pecks at its own body, representing self-sacrifice for others. The pelican is surrounded by four main objects: a shield, an anchor, two cannons, and a band of red, white, and blue stripes, alluding to the state's maritime past and its struggle for independence from European powers.
