Minnesota has revealed a new state flag to replace a design that was criticized for its perceived offensiveness to Native Americans. The proposed flag, featuring a white eight-pointed star against a dark blue background shaped like the state, pays homage to Minnesota’s motto, ‘Star of the North.’ The current flag, dating back to 1957, has faced controversy due to its depiction of a horse-mounted Native American moving away from a farmer with a plough and a rifle.
