Green Mango Hummingbird, Puerto Rico
E pluribus unum (-ˈiː ˈplʊərᵻbəs ˈuːnəm-; Latin: [ˈeː ˈpluːrɪbʊs ˈuːnʊ̃])—Latin for "Out of many, one"(alternatively translated as "One out of many"or "One from many")—is a phrase on the Seal of the United States, along with Annuit cœptis (Latin for "He approves (has approved) of the undertakings") and Novus ordo seclorum (Latin for "New Order of the Ages"), and adopted by an Act of Congress in 1782.

Resolution 396), adopting "In God we trust" as the official motto.
