It is political correctness run amok (as other posts have said).

To me, fiction often occurs in product images. But it should never be taken seriously. Yes, native Americans did not run dairy farms and manufacture butter. So what?

But was the use of the “Indian Maiden” image an intended slight of any native Americans? No.

Land O Lakes was founded in Minnesota. Minnesota is known as the “land of 1,000 lakes”. The Ojibwe tribe is one of the major tribes of Minnesota. It was an Ojibwe artist that drew the “Indian maiden” image for the use of the Land O Lakes company.

Whether or not native Americans made butter, if anything the “Indian maiden” image pays homage to the “native American” history of Minnesota, home of the Land O Lakes company, home of the tribe of the artist that drew the image for Land O Lakes.

The company should not have caved to the political correctness pressure.

Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

— Communist goal #37

Ironically, Land O’Lakes was a cooperative from its outset, originally named as the Minnesota Cooperative Creameries Association, so it was always communist-minded. Nobody “caved” here; the merely acted as if it were the right time to do such a thing.
