Following the visits of several French explorers, fur traders, and missionaries, including Jacques Marquette, Louis Joliet, and Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle, the region was claimed for Louis XIV by Daniel Greysolon, Sieur Duluth, in 1679.
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 design of the Minnesota Flag was adopted for the first time in 1893. The present Minnesota Flag is in use from 1st August 1983. The flag is also decorated with gold fringes and a golden border. There is another circle within the emblem, that depicts pictures from Minnesota's Great Seal of the State. This is encircled by 19 stars, which are arranged in 5 groups.The group at the top has 3 stars, whereas the other 4 groups have 4 stars each. At the bottom of this picture, the name of the state "Minnesota" is etched in red capital letters.
The seal features a man plowing a field with a Native American riding a horse in the background. The plow and field represent agriculture. The Native American represents Minnesota's Native American heritage. The tree stump represents the timber industry and the red pine trees represent the Minnesota state tree.
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.
The Minnesota Flag is a bright blue flag that depicts the ideals of the state in the best manner. 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.
