File:Seal of Minnesota (1858-1971).svg.png

Summary
Description English: A former state seal of Minnesota. This actually appears to be an older version of the seal, before 1983 changes which altered the positions of the horse, and added Norway Pines in the back right. In fact, this appears to be the pre-1971 version (which replaced the Indian with a white settler, a change which was also reverted in 1983). The axe in the stump was also missing before 1971, as is the case here. Extracted from PDF version of a 2008 election brochure from the U.S. National Archives (direct PDF URL [1]). Date 	1858 Source 	http://www.archives.gov/
