About the Günün a Küna flag

The Lof Lucero Pichina:u community tabled in April 2019 at the Neuquén legislature a Bill for the official recognition of the Günün a Küna flag.

The flag was unanimously approved during a meeting held in Gaiman (Chubut) on 13 November 2016. The Organization of the Günün a Küna People, during its constitutive meeting held on 22 September 2018 in Rincón de los Sauces, recognized the national flag, the provincial flags and its proper flag. The official flags in Neuquén are the national flag, the provincial flag, and the Mapuche flag (wenufoye). The latter was used in school even ts and is hoisted on the main square of San Martín de los Andes, as a symbol of interculturality.

The elements of the Günün a Küna flag are:
- Ajwü: the outer / upper space. The spiritual land where the creators live. This is the space of the sun and the moon, the feminine and masculine forces of cosmos, respectively. The constellations indicate the collective ceremonies of healing.

- Atük: the territorial space. This is the world where human beings live, breed and develop, represented by the green mountain. The white triangle represents the sacred hills while the rainbow represents the key to access to the spiritual world and brings peace and calm by submitting storms.

- Jalkürrü: the inner space. This is the world of the dead and ancestors, represented by the sea, which is the access or ancestral river by which all spirits return to the ancestral family. The white background recalls the old flag used by the ancestors, "the people from before", while the addition of symbols represents the "people from the present". This is the union of past and present to forge a future.
