Seal of Alaska

From Freepedia

The Alaska State Seal was first adopted before statehood, when the area was know as the District of Alaska. The first Governor designated a seal of the district. This seal featured glacers, northern lights, igloos and an Eskimo ice fishing. In 1910, this seal was replaced with a design more representative of the state's industrial and natural wealth. Todays seal contains rays above the mountains that represent the famous Alaskan northern lights. The smelter symbolizes mining, the train stands for Alaska's railroads, and ships denote transportation by sea. The trees pictured in the seal symbolize Alaska's wealth of timber, and the farmer, his horse, and the three shocks of wheat stand for Alaskan agriculture. The fish and the seals signify the importance of fishing and seal rookeries to Alaska's economy.
