using canoes and rafts.

On the coat of arms, the hand represents God's blessing, while the
cross represents people's religious feeling. The mountains crossed by the river
represent a valley rich in natural resources. The trees represent forest and
timber used by the population as a source of income. The shining hearts
represent people's unity. The tobacco branch represents agriculture.
