History of the New Mexico State Flag

The New Mexico state flag was officially adopted in 1925. Its design reflects the state’s rich cultural heritage and Native American history. The flag was created by Dr. Harry Mera, an archaeologist and physician, who was inspired by the ancient Zia Sun Symbol—a sacred symbol of the Zia Pueblo tribe.

The Zia symbol embodies the philosophy of life in the Zia culture, emphasizing the fourfold aspects of existence:

Four directions – North, South, East, West

Four seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter

Four times of day – Sunrise, Noon, Evening, Night

Four stages of life – Childhood, Youth, Adulthood, Old Age

These four groups of rays are connected in a circle, symbolizing the circle of life and the harmony of all things.
