Tupac Katari

The Tupac Katari Indians live in Bolivia and Peru. The flag is square and consists of 49 smaller squares in seven rows of seven. The squares are colored in diagonal lines from upper hoist to lower fly. The colors are light blue, purple, brown, pink, red, yellow, and green! I'm sure this is the only place you will ever find purple, brown, and pink stripes next to each other!

Qhishwa-Aymara Indians

A flag adopted for the indigenous organization of the Qhishwa-Aymara Indians (called a whipala (= banner) in Quechua language). This flag posted is the regional flag of Qullansuyu.

The regional flag of Kuntinsuyu is the same but the central diagonal line is yellow and the rest of the diagonal lines are moved one position.

The regional flag of Antinsuyu is the same but with the green in the central diagonal line, and the other diagonal lines moved one position.

The regional flag of Cinchausuyu is similar: the central diagonal line of squares is red, and, to the left-bottom: purple, blue, green, white, yellow and orange, and to the right-top, orange, yellow, white, green, blue and purple.

The local flags are single coloured square flags. The colours used are red, orange, yellow, white, green, purple, blue, light blue, pink, dark red, coffee, lead, ochre, black, and light green. The symbolism of the colors is red for earth, orange for society and culture, yellow for energy, white for time, green for economy, blue for space, and purple for policy.

The Qhishwa-Aymara (Quechua-Aymara in Spanish) have four flags, all square (as a symbol of equality), based in designs probably 2000 years old:

• The Continental flag (used by the native peoples to represent Latin America (Awyayala in Quechua): plain white.
• The National Flag (Tawantinsuyu): quartered with seven horizontal stripes: red, orange, yellow, white, green, blue, and purple. The banner is called sullpu.
• According to the Andean culture, the national flag is flown as part of a pair. The pair of the national flag is square and quartered red and green in the top, and white and yellow in the bottom. Is called taru and represents the equality of the four territories.
• The continental flag also is has a pair. It is white (?) with a zig-zag cross with a central disc of two-colors (I only have a black and white image). This symbol is named chakana and the disc represents the day and the night.
