In 1992, in the V Centenary of the discovery of America, the
Mapuche people adopted a national flag that
was presented for the first time to the Spanish king in his visit
to Chile. The flag is based on the Nagche regional flag, but is
quite different in the border, the stripes (only three) and the
central emblem.

The newspaper today has a picture (can’t find it online) of a
Mapuche protest in Chile. Flying is a Mapuche main flag,
but with the border (the shapes looking more like diamonds, but that may be
the picture) covered three (if not four; can’t see) sides, and no
emblem on the stripes (possibly two, maybe three). It’s somewhat
like the Nagche flag, but with no emblem and possibly less stripes.
