A new flag of the indigenous people of Northern Chile	"Whipala Chango"

"The Chango - a colonial-era term which has stuck - are descended from nomads who inhabited South America's west coast over 10,000 years ago. Despite their culture having supposedly vanished, 4,725 Chileans defined themselves as Chango in a 2017 census, in the "other" category. Many still work as hardscrabble, nautical types, as their ancestors did (they were known for sea-lion skin rafts). Some still use ancient tools such as the chinguillo, a net fibre bag to carry fish, and the chope, an iron file to scrape molluscs off rocks." p.41.
