The Massachusetts state flag features a Native American warrior holding a bow and arrow, with a star representing Massachusetts above his head. The state motto, "Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem" (By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty), appears on a blue ribbon beneath the shield.
