Baker agrees to create state seal commission Share Updated: 10:38 AM EST Jan 12, 2021 By Michael P. Norton/State House News Service Massachusetts State Flag Share Updated: 10:38 AM EST Jan 12, 2021 By Michael P. Norton/State House News Service A commission will be created to recommend a new seal and motto after Gov. Charlie Baker on Monday signed a resolve.The resolve (S 2848) emerged for votes last week as the two-year session was winding down. It calls for the panel, after study, to recommend a new or revised seal or motto by Oct. 1 to ensure that they faithfully reflect and embody the historic and contemporary commitments of the commonwealth to peace, justice, liberty and equality and to spreading the opportunities and advantages of education. The seal depicts a Native American standing beneath a disembodied arm wielding a sword and the Latin motto, By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty. Elizabeth Solomon of the Massachusett Tribe at Ponkapoag has said the imagery promotes a history of conquest, appropriation and genocide. Rep. Nika Elugardo of Boston last week credited former Rep. Byron Rushing for his work on the matter. For over 35 years native leaders have asked the MA Legislature to re-examine the harmful elements of our state flag and seal, she tweeted. Today the Legislature stands on the shoulders of long-time champion Representative @ByronRushing as we answer the call of our generation. The commission, she wrote, let s us reimagine the symbols representing our Commonwealth values of justice and perseverance in a way that honors our shared heritage and our debt to indigenous communities. Mahtowin Munro from United American Indians of New England said the resolve represents a first step toward repairing the harm done to Indigenous people. Munro last week identified other bills addressing Native American issues. As the new session opens, we will be back at the State House to present bills to ban Native American sports team mascots, to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day statewide, to protect Native heritage, to ensure improved educational outcomes for Native students, and to include curriculum on Indigenous history and cultures in MA public schools, he wrote.According to the resolve, the commission would include five members appointed by the Commission on Indian Affairs who descend from tribes with a historic presence in Massachusetts, four members appointed by the governor with cultural and historical expertise, and seats to be filled by the heads of the Commission on Indian Affairs, the Mass. Historical Commission, the Mass. Foundation for the Humanities, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
Updated: 11:00 AM EST Jan 11, 2021 By Chris Lisinski/State House News Service Massachusetts lawmakers last week took a step toward potentially replacing the official state seal and motto, a victory for activists who have argued for decades that the current versions disparage Native Americans. A legislative resolve creating a commission to recommend a new seal and motto (S 2848) emerged in the final hours of the 2020-2021 lawmaking session, earning support from both branches and landing on Gov. Charlie Baker s desk just after 4 a.m. The panel would be tasked with studying the state s seal and motto to ensure that they faithfully reflect and embody the historic and contemporary commitments of the commonwealth to peace, justice, liberty and equality and to spreading the opportunities and advantages of education, then recommending a new or revised version by Oct. 1. Native leaders and other racial justice activists have pushed for decades for Massachusetts to change its state seal, which depicts a Native American standing beneath a disembodied arm wielding a sword and the Latin motto, By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty. The imagery of the current flag and seal promotes a history of conquest, appropriation, and genocide, Elizabeth Solomon, an elder of the Massachusett Tribe at Ponkapoag, said in a statement. I ask the governor to quickly sign this bill into law so we may start to work on imagining a seal for the Commonwealth that honors the Native people after whom the Commonwealth is named and truly represents the values, goals, and aspirations embraced by all who call the Commonwealth of Massachusetts home. The commission would include five members appointed by the Commission on Indian Affairs who descend from tribes with a historic presence in Massachusetts, four members appointed by the governor with cultural and historical expertise, and seats to be filled by the heads of the Commission on Indian Affairs, the Massachusetts Historical Commission, the Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
