A little history
The namesake for the territory encompassed in the Louisiana Purchase, the 18th state has gone through more iterations of a state or territory flag than any other state... The imagery of the current one may one of the most striking.
The official flag design features the "pelican in her piety" a white mother pelican feeding its young by tearing at its own breast. This is shown by the three drops of blood on its breast to feed three chicks... Underneath this nest scene is a white banner with the State Motto "Union Justice Confidence" written in blue.
The symbolism of the Pelican Flag is more important than the depiction as pelicans do not tear at their breasts in order to feed their young... The legend is that this religious-based as an emblem of self-sacrifice... This imagery can be seen on the State Flag and Seal.
So when you down on the Bayou or enjoy jazz in the French Quarter, take a moment to reflect on the pelican and its nest.
