The (Michigan) state coat of arms depicts a light blue shield, upon which the sun rises over a lake and peninsula, and a man with a raised hand representing peace and holding a long gun representing the fight for state and nation as a frontier state.
As supporters, the elk and moose are derived from the Hudson's Bay Company coat of arms, and depict great animals of Michigan. The bald eagle represents the United States which formed the State of Michigan from the Northwest Territory.

Then there’s the Delaware state flag, which shows a militiaman and a farmer on opposite sides.

They stole that land from the Ojibwe and that flag is offensive. (See how that works?)
