Following complaints from Native American groups, Minnesota's long-standing state flag and seal are undergoing an overhaul partly due to "racist undertones" supposedly on display. The state's 2023 legislative session led by Democrat lawmakers ordered both be changed because they've been deemed offensive to the Dakota and Ojibwe tribes as well as unattractive to the eye.
As it currently is, the historic 174-year-old seal—centered on the Minnesota flag—depicts a Native American atop a horse riding away into the sunset whilst a pioneer plows a field in the foreground with a rifle leaning on a nearby stump. "Native Americans have condemned this image for its depiction of a white settler encroaching on Native territory," the Minnesota Reformer wrote.

Good thing the wokesters never saw the South Park flag. Their heads would explode.
I thought the Injuns were their own sovereign nations. They can kiss our asses if they don’t like our flag and get themselves their own flag. Little whinyass crybabies.
They got most of the southern ones. Then they will come after the rest for “climate change.”
I could just as easily see the Minnesota seal as depicting a settler and an Indian peacefully co-existing.
It’s definitely time to start cutting off the Indians from taxpayer dollars. They’ve got their casinos and are making a killing. Screw them. Their days of being wards of the U.S. government are over. Time for them to support themselves. We can get by without herds of buffalo, they can too.
They say the indian is “riding away,” but that’s not what the flag shows.
Is there ANYTHING the left won’t lie about?
“Native Americans have condemned this image for its depiction of a white settler encroaching on Native territory,”
Umm, that’s kind of what happened.
“Native Americans have condemned this image...”
What, three or four indian democrat/troublemakers?
Vast majority of tribes want the Redskins team name back.
......lefties say the indian on the flag is “riding away” .......
They know this how?
That shows them living together in harmony (after the Great Sioux Uprising of 1862).
That's what I read, too. But the heckler's veto is real.
If I were Native American, I'd be honored to get a "shout out" on a state's official Seal. It seems like the left now want Indians erased.
Native Americans will soon realize that they are also being erased from our history by the progressive left via a handful of ignorant followers and the WOKE agenda.
