Looks like he escaped from the ‘Song of Hiawatha’ pageant without a canoe. I miss the three maidens.
Or a Berdache.
Yes, I didn’t see a loincloth. Actually, it looks like he is wearing a white spandex bodysuit.
Good post. Thanks for you recollections.

Not an aesthetic triumph, and the French motto doesn't help, but an honest and workmanlike effort. Whatever replaces it is sure to be an abomination and inane.
Its a throwback from when it was part of the Michigan territory. There were a bunch of Michigan territory flags in the scramble to divide into states.
Michigan’s flag has a man with a gun......but no indians.
Just another example of weenies looking for something to whine about. Why is that Injun riding his horse through that mans garden?
Apparently flags aren’t supposed to represent anything now.
If we used a smiley face the grumps would complain about that. ;-)
Every state flag is racist unless it shows tri-racial homos, lezbos, and trannies having sex.
How come the dorkie white farmer doesn’t know he should have a horse (ox?) pulling the plow? Idiot.
“Why is that Injun riding his horse through that mans garden?”
More important than that, where did the Injun get the horse? ;-)
Oh so you assume an indian riding a nice horse must have stolen it. LOL
They need to lose the French.
I suppose the new flag of Minnesota would have a small depiction the ISIS flag somewhere in it.
19 stars - 19th state admitted after original 13.
the circles represent all of MN counties. Now that is different.
Look again. He’s completely white except for his face. I think he’s wearing long johns.
The guy with the plow is a stereotype too. Not everyone farmed. Not everyone wore a hat like that...
We ALL use stereotypes. Its what makes symbolic communication like this possible.
These complaints by whiney leftists are beyond stupid and are in the realm of blithering idiot.
No,wait...is that a stereotype?
That’s pushing the race card off the table. We should ban the cotton ball in Tylonol bottles because you have to “pick the Cotten ball out first”... “Picken’ cotton” is far more raciest than the MN flag
Like most state flags, it’s simply a banner displaying a state seal. It should be redesigned.
