Tohu o Mihi Mai Ra ('The Emblem of Mihi Mai Ra') was adopted during the Wahakahokia in 1942.
The Emblem depicts a Sublustrian Turtle in the traditional Arateran style. The Sublustrian Turtle represents Peace, Longevity, Wisdom and Exploration in Arateran and Tagatan culture. For these traits, it was chosen as the emblem for the Mihite Federation as these same traits are meant to depict the goals of diplomacy striving for longevity and peace with as many nations as possible while exercising wise choices.
In the Mihite constitution, the Tohu o Mihi Mai Ra is defined as follows:
"The prosperous, wise and peaceful Sublustrian Sea turtle as depicted in the Arateran and Tagatan styles shall serve as the emblem of the federation used in circumstances related to the federal state, diplomacy and culture."
