The motto of the seal has been a matter of discussion for years since inception. The original motto, INDUS UNTERQUE SERVIET VNI is the Latin translation for "The two Indians will serve as one", or rather "Both Indies will serve Together", in reference to the collective servitude of the Taino and Arawak Indians to the colonizers

Lettering: INDUS UTERQUE SERVIET UNI
Translation: Both Indies serving one.
