The red section in base is symbolic of the power and vigor of the sun and its influence on man and his culture in the southwestern part of the United States. The yellow rays reaching upward allude to the emanation of the suns energy which touch man and give him life and motivation. The clasped hands symbolize the tribal unity of the American Indian and on a larger scale refer to the unity of men throughout the free world, as developed through mutual assistance. The Apache headdress was used in ceremonies marking the coming of young people to adulthood and here signifies the becoming of nations through the common infusion of knowledge and technology.
