Located centrally within the outline of the state of Arizona is an image of a tobacco plant. The tobacco plant contains on its limbs twenty-one leaves. These twenty-one leaves symbolize the twenty-one Tribes within the state of Arizona and their unique traditions, knowledge and usage of tobacco. The four colors of the state represent the many colors and varieties of tobacco and the four feathers outside the logo represent the four directions.
