"Minnesota Commission Nears Decision on New State Flag Design with 3 Finalists"

The State Emblems Redesign Commission in Minnesota has narrowed down its choices for a new state flag and state seal to three finalists each. The commission spent time fine-tuning the state seal, including adding a Dakota phrase meaning 'Land Where the Waters Reflect the Clouds.' However, there was disagreement over including the state motto and the date of Minnesota's statehood. The commission then focused on narrowing down the top six flag designs, considering colors, lines, and shapes. The state flag is expected to include the image of the North Star and aim for unity. Graphic designers will create additional mockups based on the commission's modifications, with the next meeting scheduled for Friday.

Finalists Announced for Minnesota's New State Flag Design

The State Emblem Redesign Commission has selected three finalists for the new Minnesota state flag, which may still be modified. The designs include representations of lake water, nature, agriculture, winter activities, and iconic features of the state. However, there has been negative feedback from Minnesotans, with concerns about the lack of representation for the African American community. The commission also made changes to the final seal design, removing the year 1858 and the state motto, "l'etoile du nord," and replacing it with the Dakota phrase "Mni Sóta Makoc̣e." The inclusion of Dakota language has sparked controversy and potential legal disputes.
