The new flag has its critics, including people who have rushed to Lee Herold's flag shop in Rochester in recent months to secure a version of the state's historic design.

The Department of Administration has counted 120 flags in nearly two dozen buildings around the Minnesota State Capitol complex that will be replaced with the new design. There are also 71 versions of the current seal in 10 buildings in the Capitol complex.

The historic changeover to mark Statehood Day follows a whirlwind process late last year to rethink and redesign the symbols that have represented Minnesota for most of the state's history. Minnesota's original flag — the state seal at the center of a blue backdrop — was criticized for decades for imagery that was seen as problematic for its representation of Native American communities.

Republicans who served as non-voting members of the state emblems commission have been critical of the process to create the seal and the flag and want to give voters the chance to approve the new flag in an up-or-down vote this fall.

Herold spent decades advocating for the Legislature to adopt a flag design that the public will embrace and fly proudly outside of their homes. While his own design was not selected by the commission, he's seen an uptick in sales of the new flag in recent weeks as more people learn about the design.

"You will see a state seal that is modern. That is inclusive. That no longer has imagery that some find deeply not just offensive, but painful," Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon said to members of tribal nations this week. His office is the keeper of the state seal.

Ethiopia, landlocked country on the Horn of Africa. The country lies completely within the tropical latitudes and is relatively compact, with similar north-south and east-west dimensions. The capital is Addis Ababa (“New Flower”), located almost at the centre of the country. Ethiopia is the largest and most populated country in the Horn of Africa. With the 1993 secession of Eritrea, its former province along the Red Sea, Ethiopia became landlocked.

"It's not about whether you like the flag or not, it's just about whether Minnesotans should have the right to choose what represents them," said Rep. Bjorn Olson, R-Fairmont.

Late last year, a 13-member commission created by the Legislature was given a timeline of four months and a budget of $35,000 to redesign both the flag and the state's seal. The image on both shows a white settler plowing a field in the foreground while a Native American man on horseback rides westward toward the sunset. That imagery dates back to the late 1800s and was criticized as a celebration of the idea that settlers were destined to take over the land, similar to other states' emblems designed around the same time.

Ethiopia is one of the world’s oldest countries, its territorial extent having varied over the millennia of its existence. In ancient times it remained centred on Aksum, an imperial capital located in the northern part of the modern state, about 100 miles (160 km) from the Red Sea coast. The present territory was consolidated during the 19th and 20th centuries as European powers encroached into Ethiopia’s historical domain. Ethiopia became prominent in modern world affairs first in 1896, when it defeated colonial Italy in the Battle of Adwa, and again in 1935–36, when it was invaded and occupied by fascist Italy. Liberation during World War II by the Allied powers set the stage for Ethiopia to play a more prominent role in world affairs. Ethiopia was among the first independent nations to sign the Charter of the United Nations, and it gave moral and material support to the decolonization of Africa and to the growth of Pan-African cooperation. These efforts culminated in the establishment of the Organization of African Unity (since 2002, the African Union) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, both of which have their headquarters in Addis Ababa.

Lowering flags will be simpler than removing some versions of the state's seal around the Capitol, which are affixed to everything from podiums and floors to etched into door handles.

The new seal design features prominent state symbols such as a red-eyed loon on a Minnesota lake surrounded by pine trees, the North Star and sprigs of wild rice. Above the image are the words: "Mni Sóta Makoc̣e," Dakota for the "land where the waters reflect the sky" and where Minnesota derives its name.

"It's never sold so well," Herold said, noting the design has been outselling the U.S. flag on some weeks. "I think the fact that the switchover date is coming up so soon has inspired a lot of people to act."

Simon said the new imagery is something "all Minnesotans, no matter who they are, can rally behind" and "includes its own rich symbols and traditions and history about who we are no matter where we were born, no matter where we live, no matter what our heritage and that matters."

"This flag stood for too long to exclude ... the first Minnesotans and the idea of correcting that and making it inclusive doesn't just benefit 11 sovereign tribal nations. It benefits every single person in Minnesota," Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said earlier this week, addressing a Capitol crowd gathered from the state's 11 tribal nations. "We can stand a little bit taller. We can lean into a history that's a little bit truer."
