Humans first came to Minnesota during the last ice age, following herds of a large game as glaciers melted. Long before the first Europeans arrived, Indians from as far away as 1,000 miles came to make ceremonial pipes from soft red pipestone carved from sacred quarries.
Some of those early Minnesota people carved pictures of humans, animals and weapons into rocks. Some of these carvings, called “petroglyphs,†are thousands of years old â€" and many are still visible today in Minnesota’s state parks, such as Jeffers Petroglyphs near Comfrey. Ancient burial mounds and unearthed objects like spear points are evidence that people lived here ages ago.
The basic design of the flag was originally adopted in 1893. The current flag is from Aug. 1, 1983. Minnesota is the 32nd state of the union, gaining statehood on May 11, 1858. The flag of Minnesota consists of a blue base with the state seal in the center.
The state seal is also surrounded by a wreath of lady slipper, the state flower. The state seal on the Minnesota Flag portrays a farmer plowing his field, which is a symbol for the state's agriculture. The Native American on a horse represents the state's heritage. The water stands for St.
On August 1, 1983, modifications were made in the state seal. Previously the American Indian in the seal had been shown fleeing a rural landscape in which a farmer was plowing while his musket and powder horn rested nearby. The revised design still includes the mounted Indian and the other symbols, but it avoids the original suggestion that the advance of the civilization requires the departure of the land’s original inhabitants.
Minnesota was once the most northern state in the Union and the star represented the state. The 19 stars represent Minnesota as the 19th state, after the original 13 colonies, to join the Union. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Minnesota for the future.
