Today I saw in TV some Ecuadorian indigenous flags. I saw four
flags clearly
and another one quite well.
Ecuadorian Qwishwa flag by Jaume Olle' , 15
January 2000
The first one seems to be the Ecuadorian Qwishwa flag. It is
similar to the flag quoted by NAVA as "Inca" flags but
with a sun in center. As is well known "Inca" is not a
people but the name of the leader (empeor) of Quishwa. According
to NAVA there are 8 stripes but in the TV images there were only
7 (the white stripe is missinhg). Ratio c. 2:3

standart of the CONAIE by Jaume Olle' , 15 January

The third flag seems to be the standart of the CONAIE (Confederacion de nacionalidades indigenas de Ecuador).It is a square, white, with a circular logo or seal in center. The seal is a circle of five colors: red, yellow, green, orange and white.
Unknown indigenous flag by Jaume Olle' , 15 January
2000
The fouth is unknown .It is a scarlat flag , bordered white in hoist, fly and lower part. In the scarlat part is a golden emblem (details of emblem aproximate) . In the lower white part sew woeds are written but unafortunately I couldn't read them from the TV image.
Indigenous Parliament flag by Jaume Olle' , 15
January 2000
The last flag was the flag of the Indigenous Parliament. Is
the ecuadorian flag but with inscriptions: "Parlamento
nacional - de los pueblos del Ecuador" (National Parliament
of the Ecuador peoples) in black on the yellow stripe, and "¡La
patria florecera para todos! in white on the red stripe. (¡Phaterland
will florish for all!). In spanish "florecera" must be
write with accent in the last "A" but in the image the
accent is missing, however since the words are in capital letters
it is possible to supress the accent.
Jaume Olle' , 15 January 2000
In today Israeli newspaper "Yediot Akharonot" there
is a photo of a demonstration of
the Indigenous people Ecuador. Two flags can be seen clearly.
Each one has a different order of stripes.
One is looks like: purple-white-blue-green-yellow-orange-red
The second looks like: red-yellow-green-light blue-purple.
