ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) —Minnesota lawmakers are resurrecting an effort to redesign the state's flag and seal, which proponents say are indistinct compared with other U.S. states and feature imagery that is offensive to Native Americans.

 

The current flag is blue with the official state seal prominently displayed. The seal depicts a white settler tilling soil in the foreground and a Native American on a horse in the background — a depiction that fails to come to terms with Minnesota's history of violence against Native Americans, said Kevin Jensvold, tribal chairman for the Yellow Medicine Dakota of the Upper Sioux Community.
