Minnesota state flag made in Minneapolis ca. 1898 by Pauline and Thomane Fjelde, the makers of the original 1893 flag. The Fjelde sisters presented the flag to the Fifteenth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

The first Minnesota state flag, designed by Amelia Hyde Center of Minneapolis and embroidered by Norwegian immigrants Pauline and Thomane Fjelde. The flag was exhibited and won a gold medal at the World’s Columbian Exposition, Chicago, in 1893. The flag’s design incorporates symbolic elements around the state seal, including pink-and-white lady’s slippers (Cypripedium reginae); a red ribbon; the state motto, “L’Etoile du Nord” (the Star of the North); and three dates: 1819 (the year of the founding of Fort Snelling), 1893 (the year of the flag’s adoption), and 1858 (the year of Minnesota statehood). The nineteen yellow stars refer to Minnesota’s place as the nineteenth state admitted to the Union.

George Morrison had an art career that spanned several decades and two continents. He taught at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design and studied abroad for several years. But he always came back to Minnesota’s North Shore. Producer Allison Herrera explores the world of one of Minnesota’ s most important artists.

When George Morrison was ten, he was living away from his Chippewa (Ojibwe) community in Minnesota’s Arrowhead, convalescing in a children’s hospital and working on his art. That child became one of America’s great post-war abstract artists. MN90's Britt Aamodt reports.
