On top of the racist implications of the seal, the flag itself is too busy and unrecognizable from a distance, as Lee Herold, co-creator of the North Star flag, told Kare 11.
The current Minnesota state seal was created in 1849 and has remained mostly unchanged since, despite its racism. The seal depicts a white farmer plowing a field as a Native American rides by on horseback, the farmer’s rifle and powderhorn propped up on a stump in the foreground. Native Americans have condemned this image for its depiction of a white settler encroaching on Native territory.

The flag was adopted in 1893 and features 19 yellow stars to form a larger star shape encircling the seal, representative of Minnesota’s status as the 19th state to join the union. Pink and white lady slippers adorn a ribbon, along with three dates important to Minnesota. References to the North Star repeat twice, as is statehood, both in the 19 stars and the reference to 1858, the year Minnesota became a state. The controversial seal is centered on the flag. Citing all the iconography and symbols, designers have criticized the flag’s crowded tableau.
