Minnesota Unveils New State Flag
A Modern Redesign
On Tuesday, the state of Minnesota unveiled a new state flag, replacing the original design that had drawn criticism for its depiction of Native Americans. The new flag features a light blue background with a dark blue polygon at the hoist, containing a white eight-pointed star. The design is intended to represent the state's many lakes and rivers, as well as the North Star.
Symbolism and Meaning
The dark blue field of the flag represents the night sky, while the eight-pointed star symbolizes the eight congressional districts in the state at the time of its creation. The polygon at the hoist represents the northern half of the state, which contains the majority of the population and economic activity. The white color of the star represents purity and innocence.
The Minnesota State Flag is a symbol of pride and unity for its citizens. It represents the state's history, natural beauty, and core values. The new design is a modern and respectful representation of Minnesota's identity, and it is sure to serve the state well for years to come.
