field.»

White star is small and was generally six pointed (even eight
pointed, always in XVI-XVII centuries) until XIX century when
five pointed star came on use.
The blue was always light. Theres a suposed flag from Lautaro, the
heroic aracaunian leader that fight against spanish invaders, that
is light blue with a white central device as several small squares
one at side of other in diagonal; this was used in Valdivia Battle
and I have only a reconstruction. In a spanish picture show Lautaro
with a flag as the above.

The main motive, in blue, is very similar to the chakana, an
Inca symbol, here depicted simply as a
figure enclosed in a crude zigzag line, made from isometric segments
(stacked square blocks 1+3+5+3+1).

I was looking at the biography of Mapuche Indian Chief Lautaro and
there are some
pictures of him waving what seems to be a Mapuche flag.
