The official seal of the Southeastern Mvskoke Nation shall be a four-pointed star, as if a compass-rose, wherein the northern point is white and contains within it a ceremonial pipe symbolizing the White Peace of the smoke which ascends to the heavens bearing our prayers; the eastern point is yellow and contains within it the Sun, which rises in the east each morning to illuminate the Dawn, so that the Creator might oversee the day's Work; the southern point is red and contains within it a cob of Maize, which has sustained the vitality and strength of our People since the Corn Mother first provided Herself as sustenance; the western point is black and contains the four-log fire, which was carried west to Oklahoma and back again, and symbolizes the unity of our People. The colors of the pointed star symbolize the Winds, their Medicines, and the Directions from which they are sent, while changed appropriately to protect that Sacred medicine. Within the center of the seal is a badge bearing the name of the Nation atop the seal and the motto of the Nation "People of One Fire" along the bottom half of the seal. In the center of the seal is an Eagle, wings and talons outstretched in flight, upon a blue sky.
