Problem? A seal and flag for Massachusetts that portrays Indigenous peoples as lesser than the colonial settlers. Solution? Have the legislature adopt a new seal and a new flag.
You are being given the opportunity to weigh in on this decision by responding to a survey proposing three options for each. This is a fitting way for us to prepare to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day on the second Monday of October. Here’s a link made available by the commission considering the options to propose to the legislature. They need your input to help select from the top three choices.
