Flag of Mapuche - White Coffee Mug

The Flag of Mapuche refers to the official symbol representing the cultural identity of the Mapuche people, an indigenous group primarily residing in south-central Chile and southwestern Argentina. The flag was officially adopted in 1962. The design of the flag consists of three horizontal bands arranged from top to bottom: green, red, and gold. These colors symbolize the Mapuche's connection with their land (green), their bravery and struggle (red), and their wealth and prosperity (gold). A white southern cross is positioned in the center of the red band, representing Christianity's influence within the Mapuche community. The flag is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Mapuche people and serves as a symbol of unity and pride among its members. It has gained increased prominence in recent years due to growing efforts for indigenous rights recognition and the preservation of traditional customs and values.
