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 d�bat s�est ouvert sur la fabrication d�un drapeau
qui pourrait identifier ces terres indig�nes kayapo. Apr�s bien des discutions,
le drapeau dessin� par le village de Moikarako n�a pas pu �tre reconnu par les
autres mais leurs cr�ateurs en ont chang� la signification : les "couleurs du
Br�sil" initiales sont devenues le vert de la for�t, , le jaune de parures de
plumes, et le bleu du ciel avec ses �toiles et un dessin de l�arbre des noix du
Br�sil, tr�s consomm�es."
["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."]
