US State
The state flag of the U.S. state of Minnesota was adopted on May 11, 2024. It features a dark blue field representing the night sky and the state's shape, an eight-pointed star symbolizing the North Star, and a light blue field representing the state's abundant waters; the star is based on one prominently featured in the Minnesota State Capitol rotunda.
The Great Seal of the State of Minnesota is the state seal of the U.S. state of Minnesota. It was adopted on May 11, 2024, alongside the state flag, for Statehood Day. It features a common loon, Minnesota's state bird, wild rice, the state grain, and the North Star, representing the state's motto, and is themed around Minnesota's nature. In the inner circle is the phrase Mni Sóta Makoce, a Dakota phrase that translates to "Land where the water reflects the sky", which is the origin of the state's name.
Minnesota is one of the 50 states of the United States of America. Each US state has its own official seal, flag, motto, and a range of state symbols including a state bird, flower, and tree.
