The first Tribal Seal was created in the 1970s by Secretary/Treasurer Beverly Hughes. It was a black circle with “Great Seal of the Citizen Band of Potawatomi Indians of Oklahoma” inside the edge and featured a crossed Cherokee-style pipe and tomahawk over a fire with three logs.
The general outline of the emblem is an arrowhead bearing four crossed arrows. Each of the arrows represents one of the four tribes making up the tribe now known as Peoria.
The red background symbolizes the tribe’s past – the trickery, the tears, the hardships, and the heartaches that our ancestors endured.
The Wolf- The Plains Indians referred to the Pawnees as "Wolves" due to their cunning and courage.
The Banner- "Chaticks si Chaticks" in Pawnee Language, means "Men of Men"
Sprigs of Cedar- The Pawnee use cedar in sacred ceremonies and in prayer. It is a token of prayer and peace.
The Morning Star- The Morning Star symbolizes God. The Skidi believed that this star is where God lived.
The Otoe-Missouria tribal seal features animals that represent the seven clans of the Otoe-Missouria Tribe. Those clans are: Bear, Buffalo, Beaver, Eagle, Elk, Owl and Pigeon. Traditionally, each clan has its own responsibilities within the tribe and during ceremonies. The feathers in the center are an eagle fan. Eagle feathers are revered in the Otoe-Missouria Tribe.
Five simple objects—a circle, one panther, a spear, one swan and a collection of four feathers—comprise the elements depicted in The Great Seal of the Eastern Shawnee Nation.
