The Great Seal of the State of Minnesota is the insignia that the Secretary of State affixes to government papers and documents to make them official. It was first adopted in 1858. Today, the former seal is becoming controversial, especially from Native Americans. A new seal was officially adopted on May 11, 2024, featuring the common loon (the state bird) and the Dakota phrase “Mni Sóta Makoce”.
