The Atlas des Atlas (Atlas of the Atlases) features the flag of the Kayapo
natives. There is an article about that flag in a French website:
http://www.cafe-geo.net/article.php3?id_article=675.
Here the part
concerning the flag:
"Un débat s’est ouvert sur la fabrication d’un drapeau
qui pourrait identifier ces terres indigènes kayapo. Après bien des discutions,
le drapeau dessiné par le village de Moikarako n’a pas pu être reconnu par les
autres mais leurs créateurs en ont changé la signification : les "couleurs du
Brésil" initiales sont devenues le vert de la forêt, , le jaune de parures de
plumes, et le bleu du ciel avec ses étoiles et un dessin de l’arbre des noix du
Brésil, très consommées."
["A debate opened about the creation of a flag
to identify those lands as Kayapo lands. After lots of discussion, the flag
designed for the village of Moikarako couldn't get recognition from the others,
but those designers changed the meaning of it : leaving the initial "Brazilian
colors", those colors represented then the green for the forest, the yellow for
the parure feathers, the blue for the sky with the stars and a drawing of a
Brazil nut-tree, that are well consumed."]
