Minnesota

The flag of Minnesota celebrates the state’s natural beauty and pioneer spirit through a detailed and colorful emblem. Adopted in 1957, it features the state seal on a medium-blue field, framed by a wreath of pink-and-white lady’s slippers, the state flower. The seal itself tells a vivid story: a Native American on horseback rides across the plains as a farmer plows nearby, with the Mississippi River and St. Anthony Falls in the background. Above them, the North Star shines brightly—a nod to the state motto, L’Étoile du Nord (“The Star of the North”). Nineteen stars encircle the design, marking Minnesota’s entry as the nineteenth state, and three dates commemorate key moments in its history. Though intricate, the flag’s imagery conveys harmony between land, labor, and heritage—a tapestry of coexistence along the northern frontier.
