It's cool until they put it on a flag with an arm holding a sword over the head of a Native American (who wasn't even from Massachusetts).

Well, you are not wrong. It’s based on Ojibwa chief Thomas Little Shell, which I always thought was odd myself.

I don't think the motto is problematic, but in conjunction with the symbolism of the seal/flag it's a little irksome.

True! Glad Massachusetts is changing the motto and the flag.
 Our state motto seems pretty cool compared to the others
