The Massachusetts State flag, adopted on July 3, 1971, features a white background with a blue shield in the center. The shield depicts a Native American holding a bow and arrow, symbolizing peace. There is a white star above the shield to represent Massachusetts as one of the original thirteen states, and a blue ribbon with the motto: "Ense Petit Placidam Sub Libertate Quietem" ("By the Sword We Seek Peace, but Peace Only Under Liberty"). Above the shield is an arm and sword, representing the first part of the motto.
