Alaska's State motto represents;

"A State of Promise, and a forward-looking optimism."

The Alaska Legislature officially adopted North to the Future as the official motto of Alaska in 1967, during Alaska's Purchase Centennial celebration.

The motto represents a forward-looking optimism--a state of promise. Richard Peter is quoted that the motto.

"Alaska's State motto is a reminder that beyond the horizon of urban clutter there is a Great Land beneath our flag that can provide a new tomorrow for this century's 'huddled masses yearning to be free'".

The motto also promotes the State of Alaska, advising that the future lies with the state to the north of the "lower 48".

Hope this helped! :)
