| Kansas is nicknamed "The Sunflower
State," so it is fitting that they have a sunflower on their flag.
The state seal reflects what was happening in the state during
the early pioneering days. Covered wagons are moving west, passing
a farmer plowing his field, a steamboat is sailing on the Kansas
river and Indians are hunting buffalo. The thirty-four stars mean
that Kansas was the thirty-fourth state to join the union. The
state motto means that the people of Kansas do not let difficulties
stop them from doing their best. |
