The 100-year-old state seal of Massachusetts is under fire from a group of activists who believe the image of a arm wielding a sword over an American Indian is demeaning and insensitive for the Indian, according to the Berkshire Eagle.
The state legislators who want to change the seal also complain that it erroneously portrays Native Americans as the aggressor against English settlers and features inaccurate clothing for Indians of that era.
