The precise date of settlement of the area known as Nebraska is undetermined but archeological evidence indicates that the first pioneers were prehistoric Indians who hunted big game over 10,000 years ago. Those early hunters were followed by tribes of Indians who raised crops of corn, other vegetables, and sunflowers.
Nebraska was one of the last states to adopt a state flag. Representative J. Lloyd McMaster introduced a bill in 1925 to designate a state banner and the bill was passed. The law describes the banner as "... a reproduction of the Great Seal of the State charged on the center in gold and silver on a field of national blue."
The Nebraska state flag proudly shows its state seal on a dark blue background. Surrounding the seal are the words, "Great Seal of the State of Nebraska" with the date, "March 1st, 1867" written on the bottom half, the date when Nebraska was officially admitted to the Union.
The other pictures are of sheaves of wheat, a cabin, the transcontinental railroad and a steamboat sailing on a river, set in the backdrop of the scenic mountains. Above the mountains is a banner carrying the state motto, "Equality Before the Law." Below the seal, the date March 1st, 1867 is written.
The Great Seal of Nebraska is protected by state law (graphic images of the state seal are not in the public domain). The restrictions on the use of the state seal also apply to Nebraska's state flag (the state seal is the flag's centerpiece).
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Nebraska flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Nebraska flag for the future.
