State Christmas Ornament 2010 - $16.95
The Seal of the State of Oklahoma features a five-pointed star. The figures and wreath in the center of the star derive from the Great Seal of the Territory of Oklahoma. Above their heads is Oklahoma's State Motto: Labor Omnia Vincit, or "Labor Conquers All Things."
Each of the five rays of the star contain the seal of one of the Five Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma: The Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek and Seminole Nations. Surrounding the large star are 45 smaller stars, representing the 45 states that preceded Oklahoma in statehood.
The State Seal is a reminder that Oklahoma's identity is a blending of cultures. Our identity was forged by the Native Americans who called Oklahoma home, and by the pioneers who came here looking for a better life. Today, the Oklahoma Family includes people from diverse cultures who have chosen to make Oklahoma their home.
The Christmas season is a celebration of family. This year's ornament - The Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma - celebrates not only this joyous time of year, but also the history, culture and unity of the Oklahoma family.
