Overview

The "Consejo Regional Indígena del Huila, CRIHU" (Regional Indigenous Council of Huila) was established in December 1999. It represents the Nasa (Paez) peoples, Misak (Guambiano) peoples and Yanakuna/Yanacuna (Yanaconas) peoples in the Department of Huila. Source: [1].

The flag is a horizontal background with four equal horizontal stripes being from top to bottom: red, white, green, and black; with the logo in the center, as displayed on the council's webpage. Often letters are added to the design; the logo differs; etc., but the background of 4 stripes always stays the same. The logo features a spiral in red outline and yellow background with the words "AUTONOMÍA" (AUTONOMY), "CULTURA" (CULTURE), "TERRITORIO" (TERRITORY), and "UNIDAD" (UNITY) clockwise in black capitals, crossed with four batons. In the center is the initials, CRIHU.

The logo size on the flag is not standardized and can be very big or very small; and centering/the stripe it is placed on often differs.
